[edit] Playing career
He started his professional career at Doncaster Rovers as a 16-year old in 1977 and remained with the club until June 1985 as they moved up and down between Divisions 4 and 3. At Doncaster he made over 300 appearances, many of them alongside his younger brother Ian.
In June 1985 he was sold for £135,000 to First Division Sheffield Wednesday, where he stayed for two seasons, playing 59 league games, and also reaching the FA Cup semi-final in 1986, before another move took him down a division to Leeds United (for a fee of £150,000) where he re-joined his brother. A whole-hearted and dependable player, he scored 13 goals in 116 appearances for Leeds, but found his chances limited by the arrival of Tony Dorigo. In 1989-90 he was a fringe player as Leeds gained promotion to Division 1.
He then had periods on loan to Oldham Athletic and Rotherham United, before moving North of the border to join Joe Jordan's Heart of Midlothian in March 1992. When Jordan left Tynecastle Snodin returned South to join Barnsley in July 1993, spending two seasons in the First Division, before a move to Gainsborough Trinity, where he saw out his final years with the club, retiring in the summer of 1997.
[edit] Coaching career
He became chief scout at Carlisle United under Mick Wadsworth while he took his coaching badges. He followed Wadsworth to Scarborough as youth team coach, before returning to his first club, Doncaster Rovers as assistant manager to his brother Ian.
In 2000, he joined the coaching staff at Charlton Athletic as reserve team manager, leading them to the Reserve League title in 2004 and 2005. He completed his UEFA Pro Licence alongside George Burley and in March 2006, Burley brought Snodin to Southampton as first team coach.
In the 2007-06-01 press conference to reveal Nigel Worthington as the new manager of Northern Ireland, Snodin was made assistant manager and Fred Barber was announced as coach. On 26 June 2007, he joined his former Charlton Athletic colleague Alan Curbishley at West Ham United[1]. When Curbishley left in September 2008 and Gianfranco Zola was appointed in his place, Snodin was not retained on the coaching staff.[2]
[edit] Return To Leeds United
On 2 February 2009, Snodin was appointed the new Assistant Manager of Leeds United. Glynn is a cult figure with many Leeds United fans, due to the strong passion he has for the club and also the fact he regularly does the 'Leeds Salute'
