Alexander Reid (9 February 1897 – 3 November 1969) was a Scottish footballer who played as an outside right, for teams including Airdrieonians, Third Lanark, Aberdeen and Preston North End.[2]
He was Aberdeen's record signing when he joined in 1925, the club having money to spend from the recent sale of Alex Jackson.[1]
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.[2][1]
