Playing career


Glendinning started his senior football career with East Perth in the Western Australian National Football League (WANFL). He joined under the father-son rule, his father Gus having played 69 games for the Royals from 1941 to 1951. Ross played 56 games for East Perth from 1974–1977.


He joined North Melbourne in 1978, after being denied a clearance from East Perth in 1977.[1] He twice won the club's Best and Fairest award and in 1983, winning the Brownlow Medal after finishing second the previous year.[2] Strongly built, he could play at centre half-forward or centre half-back.


When West Coast was formed in 1986, Glendinning returned to his home state and was appointed the club's inaugural captain. Playing mainly at centre half-forward, he was the club's leading goal kicker in 1987 and 1988.[3]



Post-football career


In March 2000, while serving as Fremantle's match committee chairman, Glendinning attracted attention for making remarks on television claiming Essendon's star full-forward Matthew Lloyd was suspect under physical pressure. Essendon coach Kevin Sheedy showed a video of the interview to his players in the lead-up to the match at Subiaco Oval.[4] For the record, Essendon won the match by 36 points and would go on to claim the premiership at the end of the season, losing only one game along the way.



Honours


Glendinning has been inducted into the WA Hall of Champions (1994),[5] the Australian Football Hall of Fame (2000),[6] the WA Football Hall of Fame (2004) and the North Melbourne Hall of Fame (2012).[7] He was named at centre half-back in the North Melbourne Football Club's Team of the Century. In addition, the Ross Glendinning Medal is named in his honour and is awarded to the player judged best afield in the West Australian derby between West Coast and Fremantle each AFL season.[8]


He was the coach of the Western Australia Australian rules football team in the 1996 and 1997 State of Origin matches against South Australia and The Allies, losing both games.[9][10]



Personal life


Glendinning is married to Kerry and has three daughters.

Electric locomotive Škoda ChS4-109. The Moscow — Odessa train in Vinnytsia railway station. The Siemens ES64U4, is the current confirmed holder as the fastest electric locomotive at 357 km/h (222 mph) in 2006. An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electricity from overhead lines, a third rail or on-board energy storage such as a battery or a supercapacitor. Electric locomotives with on-board fueled prime movers, such as diesel engines or gas turbines, are classed as diesel-electric or gas turbine-electric and not as electric locomotives, because the electric generator/motor combination serves only as a power transmission system. Electric locomotives benefit from the high efficiency of electric motors, often above 90% (not including the inefficiency of generating the electricity). Additional efficiency can be gained from regenerative braking, which allows kinetic energy to be recovered during braking to put power back on the line. Newer electric locomotives ...
