Thomas Joseph Reid played in a number of different positions for Liverpool but was predominantly used in the forward line.
By no means speedy or graceful, he was the archetypal old-fashioned centre-forward, who turned out to be a goalscoring machine.
Reid made his Reds debut on the final day of the 1925-26 season in a home fixture with Sheffield United, scoring after only eight minutes and adding another goal to help his team secure a point from a 2-2 draw.
He often scored in 'pairs'; the next season he repeated that two-goal debut performance on no fewer than five separate occasions.
The striker was the Reds' second-highest scorer in the league behind goalscoring legend Gordon Hodgson in 1927-28 with 15 from 25 First Division fixtures, but was only called on six times the following season.
Reid continued scoring at Manchester United after leaving Anfield in February 1929.
