Brothers George Edwin and Albert McGlasson both played for the Cambridge club in 1911. They had emigrated with their family from West Hartleypool (sic) the previous year. Both capable players, one of them was selected for a League XI in an exhibition match arranged on Coronation Day. Cambridge were a strong club that year, contesting the league title with eventual winners Port, and winning the Webb Harris Cup.
1911 would be the McGlassons only season however. Their father William McGlasson was a successful builder, specializing in reinforced concrete construction. He would build many houses in Adelaide and the Riverland. Albert got married in 1913. George Edwin (who was known as Edwin), was a carpenter and possibly worked for his father. Family life and employment must have prevented the brothers from continuing their playing careers.
It was the still single Edwin who eventually enlisted, on 13th September 1916. He served with the 3rd Division Train in France in 1917-18, keeping the front lines supplied with food and equipment. He remained on duty in England until his discharge in January 1920. Back in Adelaide, Edwin married Olive French in 1922.
Both brothers married partners from wealthy middle class families, and had their weddings written up in the newspapers. Edwin McGlasson died in Adelaide in 1964 at the age of 74.
