Jimmy Glass
James "Jimmy" Glass (born 1 August 1973 in Epsom, Surrey, England) is a former football goalkeeper. Glass is remembered for scoring the last-minute goal which kept Carlisle United in the Football League in 1999. The drama of Glass's late goal, which came in one of only three games that he played for Carlisle, has since made it famous in English football at a level beyond its immediate ramifications. Beyond the Carlisle goal, Glass's most notable time with a club was three seasons playing for Bournemouth from 1996–1998. Bournemouth was the only Football League club for whom he was a regular member of the first team, and Glass retired from football in 2001 aged 27.
