Alec Reid (footballer)


Alexander Reid was a Scottish footballer who played as an outside right, for teams including Airdrieonians, Third Lanark, Aberdeen and Preston North End.
He was Aberdeen's record signing when he joined in 1925, the club having money to spend from the recent sale of Alex Jackson.
At representative level, Reid was selected for the Glasgow FA's annual challenge match against Sheffield, took part in the Home Scots v Anglo-Scots trial and was subsequently selected as a reserve for the Scotland v England international fixture, all in 1922 while playing for Third Lanark, but he never received a full cap.
