Edward Lee Glover (born 24 April 1970) is an English-born Scottish former footballer and football manager.
A forward, he started his career with Nottingham Forest in 1987. He spent seven years at the club, and also spent time on loan at Leicester City, Barnsley, and Luton Town. He moved on to Port Vale in 1994. Two years later he signed with Rotherham United, and stayed with the Millers until 2000. He then played for Macclesfield Town and Mansfield Town, before moving into non-league football with Burton Albion and Corby Town. He travelled to Wembley three times: in the 1991 FA Cup and 1996 Anglo-Italian Cup finals, and was also an unused substitute at the 1989 and 1992 Football League Cup Final and the 1992 Full Members Cup Final.
After retiring as a player, he managed two non-league clubs: Corby Town and Grantham Town, and also spent time as assistant manager of King's Lynn.
Glover started his career with Nottingham Forest in 1987. Under the management of Brian Clough, the club were competing for the First Division title in 1987–88 and 1988–89. He was an unused substitute in the 1989 League Cup final victory over Luton Town. He was sent out on loan to regain fitness following an injury in the 1989–90 season. In September 1989, he joined Leicester City on loan, and scored once in five Second Division games for David Pleat's Foxes. In January 1990, he had a spell on loan with Mel Machin's Barnsley, and made 12 goalless appearances for the Tykes in league and cup competitions. Forest could only post an eighth-place finish in 1990–91, but found greater success in the FA Cup. Glover played at Wembley in the 1991 FA Cup Final, in what finished as a 2–1 defeat to Terry Venables's Tottenham Hotspur.
