Scott McGleish (born February 10, 1974) is a Scottish footballer who plays for Leverstock Green,[2] in addition to serving as an assistant manager.[3] In a career spanning 31 years across four decades, McGleish has made over 900 league appearances. He is the only outfield player in English football to have ever passed 1,100 games in competitive matches.[4][5]

Career

Charlton Athletic

McGleish was born in Barnet, Greater London.[1] He began his career at non-league Edgware Town in 1993, before being scouted by league club Charlton Athletic.[6] At the age of 20, McGleish was loaned to Leyton Orient for the first of four spells at the club. During this loan, he made six appearances and scored his first senior goal in league football. He returned to Charlton but made only a limited number of starts. He then moved to Peterborough United, where he made only a few substitute appearances.[quantify] He was sent out on loans to Colchester United and Cambridge United.

1997–2007

He was subsequently sold to his previous club, Leyton Orient, now holding a constant place in the team, and in his one-year spell back at Brisbane Road he scored seven goals.[7] After this single season he was sold to Barnet, where he stayed for four years and had a goals-to-game ratio of a goal every 3.6 games.[8] He then returned to Colchester United, where he averaged a similar goal-scoring tally. He moved to Northampton Town in 2004 under a Bosman transfer and was their player of the year in his first season.[9] In 2006, he retained the player of the season accolade, Northampton's first player for 31 years to do so.[9] The same season, he scored 24 goals as Northampton won promotion. He signed a new two-year contract in June 2006.[9]

Wycombe Wanderers

He joined Wycombe Wanderers on 25 January 2007 for an undisclosed fee from Northampton Town, signing a two-year contract.[10]

McGleish was loaned out to his former club Northampton Town on 28 October 2008 for a month's loan lasting until 25 November, wearing shirt number 27. He scored his first goal in his second spell in a first-round FA Cup tie at Elland Road against Leeds United on 7 November.[11] His loan move was extended to January 2009, and he went on to score his first and only league goal of his loan period against Scunthorpe United.[12] McGleish's second spell at Northampton was less successful, as he scored only twice in 11 appearances. Manager Stuart Gray decided not to sign the striker in the January transfer window, and he returned to Wycombe.

East London again

He rejoined former club Leyton Orient on loan for the third time until the end of the 2008–09 season. He scored the first two goals of his loan spell in the 3-2 defeat at home to Peterborough United before returning to Wycombe and subsequently being released on 6 May 2009. He then signed a one-year contract with Leyton Orient on May 26, 2009. He scored 12 goals in 41 league appearances prior to the last game of the 2009-10 season away to Colchester United. His goals included a double against Carlisle United in a 2–2 draw and the winner away from home against old club Wycombe in October. He scored a crucial diving header to give Orient a 1-0 win against Charlton Athletic and another double in a 2-1 win over Tranmere Rovers. On 1 May, he scored a 94th-minute goal to seal Orient's League One status with a 2–0 win over Wycombe with a game to spare. The goal also relegated his old club, as they needed a win to maintain their own League One status.

On 7 December 2010, McGleish scored an extra-time hat-trick in the FA Cup second round against Droylsden. His teammate Jonathan Téhoué also scored a hat-trick, ultimately guiding Orient to an 8-2 victory and a place in the Third Round.[13]

On 10 May 2011, McGleish was released by Leyton Orient after his fourth stint with the club, despite being the club's top scorer of the 2010–11 season with 17 league goals.[14] Fans pointed out that he had matured with age, and news of his swift departure at the end of the season was met with surprise, not least as the club stated that it was looking to increase front-line options.[citation needed] McGleish revealed that he had not been offered a new contract and added that he was "gutted and a little bit shocked", although he had suspected that he would be released.[15]

Bristol Rovers

On 29 June 2011, he signed a contract with recently relegated Bristol Rovers. McGleish stated that his desire to work with manager Paul Buckle was the main reason he signed for Rovers.

On 6 August 2011, the opening day of the 2011–12 season, McGleish scored Rovers' first goal and set up another on his debut for the club in their 3–2 win at AFC Wimbledon.[16]

McGleish re-joined Barnet on a short-term loan deal on 1 March 2012.[17]

On 17 May 2012, McGleish was released by the Rovers.

In November 2012, McGleish joined Chesham United on a free transfer from Whitehawk.[18]

Enfield Town

McGleish was released from Whitehawk on 1 January 2013 and promptly joined Isthmian League Premier Division side Enfield Town.[19] He made his debut for the club in a 3–2 defeat against Bury Town, in which he scored. He scored nine more goals in his next eight games, including braces against Carshalton Athletic and Metropolitan Police and a hat-trick against Cray Wanderers.

Wealdstone

In March 2013, McGleish accepted an offer to join rivals Wealdstone to help bolster their push for promotion to the Conference South.[20] He made his debut in a 4-2 win over Margate, scoring the fourth in what was an impressive display for the Stones. He played in the Isthmian League Premier Division play-off semi-final against Concord Rangers, hitting the crossbar late on while Wealdstone were 1-0 up. They went on to lose the game 2-1 in extra time. McGleish signed on for the 2013-14 season at Wealdstone and was a pivotal part of the team that won the Isthmian League Premier Division title and thus achieved promotion to the Conference South. He finished the season as the club's top scorer with 23 goals.

Cheshunt

In 2017, McGleish joined Cheshunt. He made his debut in a 3-1 home defeat to Dorking Wanderers in the FA Cup at the age of 43, making him the oldest player in Cheshunt's history.

Return to Chesham United

Having made only one appearance for Cheshunt, McGleish rejoined Chesham United in September 2017; he made his second début in a 2–0 win over Dunstable Town on 12 September, scoring the second goal.[21] In October 2018, McGleish departed the club alongside fellow coaches Mark Swales and Dave Sandiford.[22] He returned to Hendon as a player-coach in December 2018, a club he played for as a youth in the early 90s.[23]

Leverstock Green

In June 2021, McGleish joined Leverstock Green as player/assistant manager, joining new manager Fergus Moore.[3] He has made over 50 appearances for the Greens.

Managerial career

In June 2021, McGleish joined Leverstock Green as player/assistant manager, joining new manager Fergus Moore.[3]
