Glenn Ferguson

Having been previously capped for Northern Ireland B, Ferguson was first called into the Northern Ireland squad late in 1998. He made his debut against Canada on 7 April 1999 but did not play again until 2001. In all he won five caps, and represented the Irish League representative team four times, scoring twice.

Ferguson was appointed manager of Ballymena United on 30 December 2011. His first game in charge was against Linfield F.C. on 8 January 2012, and won his first trophy as manager when the Sky Blues defeated Ferguson's former club Linfield in the County Antrim Shield final on 27 November 2012. Ferguson led Ballymena United to the Irish Cup final for the first time since winning the cup in 1989 where they were beaten 2–1 in the final by Glenavon. Ferguson was sacked in 2016 and replaced by David Jeffrey.

Glenn was born on 10 July 1969 in the Ulster Hospital Dundonald to Thomas and Ida Ferguson and is the youngest of their three children. He attended Dundonald High School.
