Never heard of this fecker before, but according to Wikipedia he played 39 games for Arsenal from 1995-1997, and scored 1 goal. He was a winger. Seems to have had a shit career before and after (and during) Arsenal.

But how good was he really?
 
Was pretty talented, but a complete nutcase and criminal.

So, like Antony?

He wrote a book about his feckery called, "from Arsenal to prison".
 
Got George Graham the sack, so he is responsible for Arsene Wenger being appointed.
 
Unfortunately it didn’t go so well for Glenn after retiring, he got into financial difficulties and addictions. Hope he’s sorted himself out.
 
I got mixed up between him and the Portuguese player Hélder, who played for Newcastle on loan in 1999/2000 (when his parent club Depor won the La Liga title), most notably scoring against Sunderland.

I was very young at the time though !
 
Are we living in a 'How good was _____?' epidemic? Does the football forum need to be quarantined?
