| Date of birth | 02 March 1947 |
| Place of birth | Glasgow |
| Position | Midfielder |
Reid came to Newcastle's attention after two impressive displays against them for Dundee United in Inter Cities Fairs Cup ties in 1969. It was another two years before the ginger-haired midfielder moved to Tyneside, and he struggled to come to terms with the pace of the First Division.
