Robert "Bob" Glendenning (born June 6, 1888 in Washington , Tyne and Wear , † November 19, 1940 ) was an English football player and coach . He was bond coach for the Dutch national team between 1923 and 1940 . As a player, he had previously won the FA Cup with Barnsley FC in 1912 .
Player career
Glendenning began his football career at home Washington United and moved a few years before 1910 to Barnsley FC . The two highlights of the outrunner in 1910 and 1912 were reaching the FA Cup final. After the first attempt after a defeat in the replay against Newcastle United still failed, Glendenning and his men made a 1-0 win - also in the replay - against West Bromwich Albion for the first cup win in the history of the "Tykes". Glendenning had received good reviews in the press, especially in the first edition of the 1912 final, and in the success against "WBA" ensured the ball conquest and the pass to the winning goal scorer Harry Tufnell .
In March 1913 Glendenning moved to the Bolton Wanderers , for which he completed 83 competitive games. He reached the FA Cup semi-finals again with his new club in 1915 and was defeated there by the eventual winner Sheffield United . After the end of World War I , he let his active career with Accrington Stanley expire.
Coaching career
After his football career, Glendenning switched to coaching and was on the sidelines for the first time for the Dutch national team on November 25, 1923 in a 4-1 win against Switzerland . It was not until March 1925 that he continued this office permanently; in addition, he worked as a club coach for the Koninklijke HFC , which he carried out until 1928. It was not until the Olympic soccer tournament in 1928 that Glendenning concentrated on his role as a bond coach and held this position until 1940. He led the Netherlands to two World Championship tournaments in Italy (1934) and France (1938), but did not get past the first round in either case. Overall, Glendenning looked after the "Oranjes" in 87 games and had a balanced record with 36 wins and losses.
The 4-2 win against Belgium on April 21, 1940 - Abe Lenstra played his second international game here - was followed by a game against Luxembourg three weeks later . However, this did not take place anymore due to the attack on the Netherlands by the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War . Bob Glendenning died on November 19, 1940 and was later buried in Bolton, England .
