Robert Glozier (born 20 November 1948) is an English former footballer who played as a full back.

Career

After joining the club as an apprentice, Glozier signed professional forms with West Ham United in 1966. In 1969, following failure to make a first team appearance for West Ham, Glozier joined Torquay United. During three years at the club, Glozier made 57 Football League, scoring once.[1] On 25 October 1972, Glozier was awarded a testimonial by Torquay following a cruciate ligament injury.[3] Following his spell at Torquay, Glozier dropped into non-League football, playing for Guildford City, Dartford, Dover, Maidstone United, Gravesend & Northfleet and Hastings United.[4] In 1983, Glozier joined Crawley Town, making 132 league appearances, scoring twice, over the course of three years.[5] Glozier later joined Bishop's Stortford and Chelmsford City, making a singular emergency league appearance for the latter, becoming one of the club's oldest players in the process.[4][6]

Following his playing days, Glozier temporarily took up the role of caretaker manager at former club Gravesend & Northfleet.[7]
