The One Glove History

Independent goalkeeper glove brand · Hoddesdon, United Kingdom · Founded 2004

The One Glove Company was founded in 2004 to give every keeper access to a glove with professional-level quality. Its first product was a single model meant to suit everyone, which gave the company its name, and its first sales came out of the trunk of a car.

Before launching, the company surveyed keepers from Sunday league to international level. It calls itself one of the first brands in the world to offer a pro-grade glove at an accessible price, and its range has since grown into a full lineup of gloves, apparel and training gear.

Managing director Miles, a UEFA A-licensed goalkeeper coach with more than 20 years in the goalkeeping industry, later took over the brand, and Will joined him to lead marketing and help with product development. Rob, a former Newcastle United goalkeeper, also works on product development.
