Peter Reid

[captainvindaloo]

Happy Birthday, Reidy! A true midfield general with the sort of passion, grit and fearless determination that has been so sadly lacking in our team for far too long!
Thanks for the great memories!

Adrian Heath was my favourite player as a youngster but Reid wasn't far behind. Commitment, leadership and ability, all things we could do with right now.

 

[Walter Ego]

He was my favourite player in that team. Happy birthday

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Happy birthday Reidy lad you little snarler, how I wish we had someone with just 10% of your attitude in this shambles of a squad we have currently.

 

[Thomasc]

A section turned on him in the end though!!!!! We have the greatest fans but the other 20% are as scummy as Millwall.

Just as they turned on
Weir
Cahill
And now Coleman

Im sure every club has them.

Reid, Bracewell, Sheedy and Steven was such a top midfield.

 

[str5720]

My fave ever player. The way he bossed the midfield and controlled the tempo of the game was a sight to behold

 

[Davideeyore]

Why so sad Peter? Cheer up.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Happy Birthday, an indispensable member of the team, puts the current midfield to shame, and a man of fine socialist principles.

We'll forgive him :





And a cracker :

Absolutely love that players player trophy. Proper old school ain't it?

 

[PSJ]

Definitely my favourite too

 

[PSJ]

Happy birthday Reidy, best ever for me after Howard Kendall but only just. Love you both

He looked like he was dying to play it like a guitar. lol

When men were men and graphics got eaten by grues.

I was just writing earlier that, unlike Billy Joel sings, perhaps the good old days weren't good at all.

You have restored at least a bit of my faith.

Dear God, just looking at those four names written down illustrates how utterly cack our current midfield is. Even if our current first choice midfield was all fit and firing, those four would absolutely destroy them a hundred times out of a hundred. Yet they in turn would be destroyed a hundred times out of a hundred by the holy trinity. My word we have fallen so far

I was too young to see the holy trinity,but they were certainly my own "holy quartet"!!!

Our current midfield would be completely embarrassed by the Holy Trinity, each of them could tackle, pass, run and shoot.

The Trinity all had a burning desire to be the best in every game they played and far more often than not, they were.

They never accepted being second best and single-handedly never mind collectively could change a game - without any shadow of a doubt, the greatest midfield trio this country has or will ever produce.
