Michael James Reid
Centre-forward (1952-1953)
He spent much of his childhood in the French city of Rheims, returning to England just before the Second World War. After serving as an RAF fitter in north-west Europe as a National Serviceman and playing in a number of representative games, he signed professional forms for Wolverhampton Wanderers on being demobilized. A mid-season Watford signing as a centre- forward replacement for Cyril Thompson, Micky Reid, who was studying for a geography degree at the time, got off to a bad start with a heavy defeat in Bristol, but then scored in each of his first three home games. For a man who in 1950/51 played in the First Division for the reigning League champions, his career total of only 29 Football League appearances is surprising.
