Career
He is best remembered for his time in the Football League with Coventry City, making just under 400 appearances for the club Early years Crystal Palace Glazier was signed on the strength of his performance for the Palace "A" team in a match versus Dover. He quickly displaced Vic Rouse as the Eagles" first-choice goalkeeper and was an ever-present during the 1963-1964 season, in which the Eagles secured promotion to Division Two with a runners-up finish.
Glazier departed Selhurst Park in October 1964, having made 113 appearances for Palace.
Coventry City In October 1964, the manager of Division Two club Coventry City (who pipped Crystal Palace to the Division Three title in the 1963-1964 season), Jimmy Hill, signed Glazier for a then-record fee for a goalkeeper of £35000. Glazier suffered a broken leg in a match versus Manchester City in April 1965, which kept him out of the game for a year.
Now playing in Division One, Glazier continued as the club"s first-choice goalkeeper until August 1975. He was rewarded with a testimonial in November 1974 versus an England 1966 World Cup XI, with Glazier scoring twice in a 6-6 draw.
Glazier made 395 appearances in 11 years at Highfield Road.
Brentford Glazier dropped down to Division Four to sign for Brentford in a £12500 deal in August 1975. The move was helped along by Jimmy Hill (by now working as a broadcaster), who put Glazier in touch with Brentford manager John Docherty, who had been looking for a goalkeeper after loanee Steve Sherwood returned to Chelsea. Business interests and problems commuting from his Brighton home meant that Glazier couldn"t give his full commitment to the Bees and he left the club after making just 12 appearances.
Saint Louis Stars Glazier closed out his career with a spell at North American Soccer League side Saint Louis Stars in 1977.
One of Glazier"s caps came against Romania at Highfield Road (home of his then-club side Coventry City) drew a crowd of 27476, one of the highest attendances for an U23 match in England. A broken leg cut suffered with Coventry City in 1965 cut short Glazier"s international career, as he was over the age-limit after returning to fitness.
