Andrew Matthew "Andy" Reid (born 29 July 1982) is an Irish footballer who currently plays for Nottingham Forest in the Football League Championship. He plays as a midfielder and has also represented the Republic of Ireland.

Personal life

Reid was born in Crumlin, Dublin, Ireland.[3] He went to school at Synge Street CBS, Dublin. Football was in his blood as his father Bill played for St Patrick's Athletic and his uncle Victor played for Shelbourne.

He started his footballing career with Irish youth clubs – Lourdes Celtic and Cherry Orchard. He turned down Manchester United and Arsenal to sign for Nottingham Forest.[4] He has often been criticised for being overweight,[5] but Charlton manager Les Reed claimed that he was one of the fittest on show at a game against Everton, Reed said "He is fit. You have only got to look at the amount of running he was doing and how he was still going at the end to see that".[6]

Playing career

Nottingham Forest

Reid started his career with Nottingham Forest,[3] in their youth academy,[7] after joining from Cherry Orchard, meaning that Cherry Orchard received money from the move.[4] Reid added "I choose Forest years ago because they made me feel wanted, because they had more time for me as a young kid that I felt at Arsenal or United".[4] He turned professional in August 1999, and made his debut on 29 November 2000 against Sheffield United and also scored a goal.[8] In the 2001–02 season Reid failed to score a goal although playing in 31 games.[9]

He scored a goal against Sheffield United in the 2003 Football League Championship play-off semi-final on 15 May 2003, where Nottingham Forest lost the match 4–3, and 5–4 on aggregate.[10] He scored two goals in the 3–1 win over Coventry City on 27 August 2003.[11] Reid scored 13 goals in the 2003–04 season, finishing as Nottingham Forest's top scorer for the season, he was also name in the PFA Division One Team of the Year.[9]

He handed in a transfer request at the start of August 2004 saying "I feel I have no other choice than to formally state my desire to leave the club".[12] During his time at Nottingham Forest, Reid was described as one of the most talented midfielders playing in the Football League,[13] and was listed as a Legend of Nottingham Forest.[14] Reid left the Nottinghamshire Club having scored 21 goals in 144 appearances.[3]

Tottenham Hotspur

After protracted negotiations lasting for the bulk of his last season at the club,[12] Reid completed his move from Forest to Tottenham on the last day of the January 2005 transfer window along with Michael Dawson, for a combined fee of £8 million.[15] He made his debut in a 3–1 win over Portsmouth on 5 February 2005, and Martin Jol said "Andy Reid also did well on his debut, and you worry a bit how new players will cope with the Premiership".[16]

Despite a promising start Reid failed to recapture the form he had shown at Forest and had to wait until May before netting for his new club, coming against Aston Villa in a 5–1 win at the end of the season.[17] Making only 20 starts in 26 appearances he scored just one goal for Tottenham[3] leading him to be listed by one journalist as one of the worst signings of the January Transfer market.[18]

Charlton Athletic

Reid joined Charlton Athletic for a fee of around £3 million in August 2006.[19] He scored his first goal for Charlton against Everton on 25 November 2006.[20] Following the Everton match, Charlton manager Les Reed labelled Reid as being similar to Ferenc Puskás who was part of the famous Mighty Magyars.[6]

Charlton were relegated at the end of the season but Reid continued to shine in the Championship. He scored both goals against Norwich City in a 2–0 win in September 2007, both being penalties in the space of two minutes.[21] "The captain Andy Reid was brilliant, he was driving us on all night", Alan Pardew said about his performance that day.[21] Reid's form had not gone unnoticed and he was eventually sold having played 40 games and scored 9 goals in all competitions during his two season stay at The Valley.[3]

Sunderland

At the end of January 2008, on the last day of the transfer window, Reid joined Sunderland in a three and a half year deal worth £5m, making the step up from the Football League Championship to the Premier League. Sunderland's Greg Halford went in the other direction in a six month loan spell as part of the deal.[22] Reid explained that he wanted Sunderland to be challenging for European places, and will not be happy fighting relegation season-after-season.[23]

He made his début at the start of February 2008 against Wigan Athletic, coming on as a 74th minute substitute and assisted Daryl Murphy by playing a cross field pass for him to score a 25-yard (23 m) goal.[24]

Reid scored his first goal for Sunderland at the end of March in a 2–1 win over West Ham United, his 95th minute volley earning Sunderland their first back-to-back Premier League victories since December 2001.[25] He scored his first goal of the 2008–09 campaign with a header in the 4–0 win over West Brom. Reid scored his first goals of the 2009/2010 campaign with a brace against Norwich in the Carling Cup – where Sunderland went on to win 4–1. His impressive display won him man of the match. Reid then scored his first Premier League goal of the season in a 4–1 win over Hull City, he also provided the cross which led to a Kamil Zayatte own goal to make it 4–1 to Sunderland.

After drifting out of first team contention Reid joined Sheffield United on a month's loan at the end of October 2010, with Sheffield manager Gary Speed stating "he is of undoubted Premier League quality and therefore a good addition to the squad."[26] He made his début for the Blades a few days later, coming on as a second half substitute against Coventry City.[27] Reid went on to score his first goal for the Blades on in mid November to help secure the team a 1–0 victory at Millwall. After two months at Bramall Lane Reid was hit by a three match ban following an incident at Carrow Road in a game against Norwich and so returned early to his parent club.[28] He left Bramall Lane having played nine times and scored two goals for the South Yorkshire club.

Blackpool

On 31 January 2011, Reid joined Blackpool on a deal until the end of the season.[29] Struggling to make an impact on the first team he made only five appearances for the Bloomfield Road team before being released at the end of May following Blackpool's relegation from the Premier League.[30]

Nottingham Forest

On 1 July 2011, Nottingham Forest announced the signing of Reid on a two-year deal, returning to the club where he started his career.[31] He became Steve McClaren's first signing since joining the club as manager.

International career

Reid was part of the team that won the U16 Nordic Cup on 8 August 1998 and scored in the final win over England.[32] He has also appeared for the Republic of Ireland Under-21 team where he played 15 games and scored 4 goals, and also for the Republic of Ireland senior team where he has made 27 appearances and scored 4 goals.[33]

He débuted for the Republic of Ireland national football team in a 3–0 win over Canada.[34] The first of his international goals was a 35-yard (32 m) free kick against Bulgaria on the 18 November 2003. His first international goal in a competitive game saw him score a 25-yard (23 m) shot from open play against Cyprus in a World Cup qualifier on 18 August 2004.[35]

He also scored a consolation goal in a 2–1 friendly defeat by Italy on 17 August 2005.[36] He also opened up the scoring in the last game at Lansdowne Road before redevelopment, a game in which Ireland won 5–0 against San Marino on 15 November 2006.[37] He provided an assist with a low through ball for Robbie Keane in a 4–0 victory against Denmark in a friendly on 22 August 2007.[38]

Reid believes that ex-Republic of Ireland manager, Steve Staunton, should not have been sacked, the midfielder explained, "I do not believe they should have done it. I believe he should have been given more time".[39]
