<!--James "Jimmy" Glass (born August 1, 1973 in London) is a former football goalkeeper, who is chiefly remembered for scoring the goal which kept Carlisle United in the Football League in 1999.

Early career
Glass had a journeyman's career in football, playing for many clubs, initially as a reserve keeper for Crystal Palace. The closest he came to a trophy was reaching the final of the Auto Windscreens Shield with Bournemouth in 1998 - unfortunately Glass scored an own goal in the match, and Bournemouth lost 2-1. This was the first time a goalkeeper had scored an own goal at Wembley. Glass moved to Swindon Town in the summer of 1998, but was unable to gain a regular place in the team.

Time at Carlisle United
He moved to Carlisle United on loan from Swindon late that season (after goalkeeper Tony Caig was sold to Blackpool.) His moment of fame came on May 8, 1999, in the final match of the 1998-99 season against Plymouth Argyle, which Carlisle needed to win to avoid relegation. With the score 1-1 with only ten seconds remaining, and Carlisle winning a corner, Glass came up from his own penalty area and promptly scored, pouncing on a parry from the Plymouth goalkeeper. Carlisle got the win they needed and Scarborough were relegated to the Football Conference instead.

Life after Carlisle United
Despite his brief fame, this was the last of just three matches Glass played at Carlisle, who were unwilling to sign him on a permanent basis. Glass spent time at several other clubs, including Oxford United & Brentford, before moving to non-league clubs, and then quitting football altogether. After quitting, he worked as an IT salesman and a taxi driver, while playing Sunday league football in Bournemouth, playing as a striker. He has written an autobiography, entitled One Hit Wonder. He also enjoyed a brief stint in goal for non-league Lewes.

His goal was selected as the 72nd greatest sporting moment ever (and the only football event outside the top flight or international matches) by the Channel 4 programme 100 Greatest Sporting Moments.
