Glenn suffered a run of horrific knee injuries the first of which occurred in 1988 while at school. Throughout his long career, he underwent a total of 13 operations, seven on his left knee alone. He spent many an off-season undergoing surgery and was often seen during training and in games to be struggling or in pain from the chronic knee troubles he suffered.
Despite the injuries Panoho made he made 21 appearances for the Wallabies including matches against the British and Irish Lions and 2 World Cups between 1998-2003.
