ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï all-American football trailblazer, Coach James M. “Juicyâ€� Glover, joined the Bred ancestors Thursday from his Harlan County home.
“James Glover embodied the Thorobred spirit, and the pride of being a Thorobred never left him,â€� President M. Christopher Brown II said. “His loyalty to family, friends, and ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï is a model for the entire Thorobred family. Glover lived a life of commitment and frequently attended ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï athletic events, championing our student-athletes on to victory. We will miss his presence.â€�
Glover was an all-American linebacker at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï before being drafted into the National Football League (NFL), becoming the first African-American to play at center. Glover returned to Kentucky after his NFL career and became the assistant football coach at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï. He was later inducted into the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï athletics hall of fame.
