[1] Reid played predominantly on the wings where he was noted for his speedy bursts and drop kicks but was also used at half forward.
He made an impact at South Melbourne despite playing just two seasons, finishing equal ninth at the 1935 Brownlow Medal which made him the best placed South Melbourne player.
In 1939 he won Claremont's 'Best and Fairest' award but missed out on a spot in his third successive Grand Final through injury.
Reid, who represented Western Australia at the 1937 Perth Carnival, also won a 'Best and Fairest' in 1940.
