David Glascott (born 27 April 1961) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Carlton in the VFL during the 1980s. Glascott usually played as a wingman and started his league career as a premiership player in 1981 and 1982. Later on in his career he was used in both attack and defence as well as being a rover. He was wiry for his height, but he lacked nothing in courage or speed and was always getting the ball for the champion Blues teams of the 1980s.[1] Glascott's career suffered greatly when he suffered a season-ending shoulder dislocation early in 1989:[2] when he did come back in 1990 and 1991, Glascott took over the role of Reserves captain and played in a premiership team to complement his 1979 Under-19 and three senior flag sides. In 1993, he played for VFA club Frankston.[3]
After he retired as a player, Glascott took on the role of coach of cellar-dwelling WAFL club for the 1994 season, and even considered playing again during the off-season. However, Glascott could win only ten of forty-two games in his two seasons in charge and was not reappointed.[4]
In 2001 he was named in the Carlton Hall of Fame.
