Syd Reid

Sydney "Syd" Reid (born in Cannock) was an English-born Welsh professional footballer, who played for English club Luton Town.

Playing career

Reid moved with his family from Cannock to Pentrebach as a child and played his early football with his local club Troed-y-rhiw Star, but turned professional in March 1922 when Luton Town brought him to England to bolster their forward line. He made his debut for Luton on 18 March 1922, in a 1–1 draw at Brighton & Hove Albion. He played ten more games during the rump end of the 1921–22 season, and scored his first Luton goal in his third match, a 1–1 draw with Watford at Kenilworth Road on 1 April. His second goal came a week later, in the return fixture at Vicarage Road as Luton lost 4–1. He ended the season with two goals from 11 matches.
