RIP Sammy Reid
Liverpool Football Club was saddened to learn of the passing of former player Sammy Reid, who died at his home in Wishaw at the weekend aged 75.
A diminutive winger, he held the honour of being Bill Shankly's first ever signing as manager at Anfield, arriving from Motherwell in February 1960.
Unlike so many of the legendary Scot's purchases, however, it never quite worked out for Reid with the Reds and a first-team appearance eluded him.
He later wrote his name into Berwick Rangers and Scottish football folklore by scoring a shock cup winner against Rangers in January 1967.
The thoughts of everyone at the club are with Reid's family and friends at this sad time.
