Brett Gloury (born 3 December 1968) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
Originally from Balmoral, Gloury was an All-Australian at the 1985 Teal Cup Under-17s Championships in Perth.[2] He had a tough initiation to league football the following year, when as a 17-year-old on debut, he played as a full-back on Essendon's Paul Salmon.[3] The Essendon player, who was 12 cm taller than his opponent, kicked four goals in the first quarter, prompting the coach to take Gloury off him.[3] He kept his spot in the team for Collingwood's next game, against the Sydney Swans, which he played as a forward and kicked three behinds.[4] In 1987 he made two appearances mid-year, against Fitzroy and North Melbourne, his last two league games.[4]
Gloury later played for Newbridge in the Loddon Valley Football League and with Kangaroo Flat in the Bendigo Football League.[5] He was a member of Kangaroo Flat's 1996 premiership team.[6]
