Jacques Glassmann (born July 22, 1962 in Mulhouse) is a former footballer from France.
He is famous for having revealed the bribery scandal involving Olympique de Marseille and his team US Valenciennes. He [1] and fellow teammates, Jorge Burruchaga[2] and Christophe Robert[2] were contacted by OM player Jean-Jacques Eydelie[3], in order to let l'OM win and, more importantly, not to injure any OM player ahead of the UEFA Champions League final.
He was later considered as a traitor by French supporters[1].
He was eventually awarded the FIFA Fair Play Award in 1995 for having revealed this bribery scandal.
