John Reid
John Reid Date of Birth: Aug 20, 1932 Share "John Reid" on FacebookFleet footed inside-forward John started his professional football career with Hamilton Academical from where he joined Bradford City in 1957.
Becoming a crowd favourite at Valley Parade it needed a big bid to prise him away but upwardly mobile Northampton paid £5,000 in 1961 which proved money well spent as John helped them to promotion two years later.
Luton, newly relegated to Division Three, paid a massive £13,000 for his services in November 1963 but he was continually playing in a poor Hatters side although he always showed 100% commitment and flashes of ability.
Spells at Torquay and Rochdale followed as well as a managerial appointment at Market Rasen Town before he became a newsagent in Bradford. John now lives in Keighley in retirement.
