After he had guided St. Mirren to a Scottish League Cup final in 1956 and Scottish Cup victory in 1959, Reid was appointed as the manager of Norwich City on 14 December 1961. He led Norwich City to the 1962 League Cup with a final win against Rochdale, 4–0 on aggregate. This was Norwich City's first League Cup and first major trophy ever won.
