Lets never make mistakes like this again, especially with a long history with the club.
Bruce Reid (born 27 April 1929) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL). Reid, a Romsey recruit, played 17 of a possible 19 games in the 1949 VFL season. He added another eight games the following year but appeared just three times in 1951, his final season.
Bruce Reid jr (born 23 December 1955) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray and Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL). Reid made his league debut against St Kilda in round 5 of the 1977 season.
Bruce's brother also played for the dogs:
John Reid (born 25 February 1953) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne, Footscray and 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 didn't play a senior game in 1973 and was used just twice in 1974.
In 1975 he moved to Footscray, the club that his father Bruce Reid senior had played for. A defender, he would play just one game in each of his first two seasons.
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. 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 and had a strong season in 1980 when he averaged 16 disposals.
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 would later serve the Swans as a reserves coach and football manager.
and of Course we all know about Bruce's sons.
