Jacques Glassmann (born 22 July 1962) is a French former footballer who played as a defender.
He is famous for having revealed the bribery scandal involving Olympique de Marseille and his team US Valenciennes. He[2] and teammates Jorge Burruchaga[3] and Christophe Robert[3] were contacted by Marseille player Jean-Jacques Eydelie[4] in order to let Marseille win and, more importantly, not to injure any Marseille player ahead of the 1993 UEFA Champions League Final.
He was eventually awarded the FIFA Fair Play Award in 1995 for having revealed this bribery scandal.
