Paul Reid (footballer, born 1968)

Paul Robert Reid (born 19 January 1968) is an English football coach and former professional player.

He was turned away from teams such as West Brom and Coventry as he was told he was "too small" to play as a centre forward.

Reid next signed for Oldham Athletic in March 1997 before moving to Bury in 1999 on a free transfer.

[13] After a spell at Afan Lido, Paul joined the Swansea City academy where he stayed in the ranks until 2019.
