Glenn Howard (born 17 November 1962) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn and Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Recruited from Burwood United, Howard had an injury plagued VFL career, which started in 1981 after making his way up from the Under 19s. [1] [2] He made seven appearances late in the season, then played only the opening two rounds in 1982 and just once in 1983, a premiership year. [2] In both the 1984 and 1985 seasons, Howard didn't play a single senior game. [2] He finally had an extended run in the team in 1986, with 13 games, but didn't take part in Hawthorn's finals campaign, which ended in a fourth successive grand final appearance and second premiership in four years. [2] In 1987 he played 14 games for Collingwood, but didn't play at all in 1988 and was cut from their list at the end of the year. [2] [3] He suffered two broken legs during his career. [4]

He was captain of the Sandringham Football Club in 1989 and 1990, winning their best and fairest in the first of those years. [5]

The AFL Australian Football League is the top professional Australian rules football league in the world. The league consists of eighteen teams: nine based in the city of Melbourne, one from regional Victoria, and eight based in other Australian states. The reason for this unbalanced geographic distribution lies in the history of the league, which was based solely within Victoria from the time it was established in 1897, until the time the league expanded through the addition of clubs from interstate to the existing teams starting in the 1980s; until this expansion, the league was known as the VFL (Victorian Football League).
