Chattanooga Football Club’s Fynn Glover participates in practice Wednesday at Finley Stadium.Fynn Glover likes to run. Whether it’s while wearing his Chattanooga Football Club uniform or almost any other time, the 25-year-old covers a lot of ground.
“He does so much running,” CFC coach Bill Elliott said of his center midfielder. “The amount of ground he covers in a game is probably equal to two normal players. I mean, he just does so much to win the ball back for our team.”
Chattanooga FC (1-1 NPSL Southeast) will need Glover in fine running form tonight when the Mississippi Storm (1-1) visit Finley Stadium. CFC is coming off of a 1-0 loss last Saturday in Pensacola, Fla., to the Gulfcoast Texans.
Glover, who scored on a header in CFC’s U.S. Open Cup game, was one of several players who had to miss the Florida trip, and CFC is expected to be back closer to full strength tonight.
Glover ran cross country at Baylor before playing collegiate soccer at Richmond (2006-09). He began his CFC career in the club’s inaugural season in 2009. He took most of the 2011 season off to travel (and run) around the country — literally.
