John Reid (born 25 February 1953) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne, Footscray and the Sydney Swans in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Reid had a slow start to his career, after appearing just once in the 1972 VFL season, he did not play a senior game in 1973 and was used just twice in 1974.[1]
In 1975 he moved to Footscray, the club that his father Bruce Reid senior had played for.[2] A defender, he played just one game in each of his first two seasons.[1]
At the age of 24 he finally put together a sequence of appearances when he played in all but one fixture from round 10 of the 1977 season.[1] He was joined at Footscray by his brother, Bruce Reid junior, in 1977.
For the next four years he was a regular member of the side.[1]
Reid joined the Sydney Swans in 1982, for their first league season after relocating. His contribution to the club as a player was minimal, but he later served the Swans as a reserves coach and football manager.[3]
He is the uncle of Collingwood premiership player Ben Reid and Sydney Swans premiership player Sam Reid.
