JAMES REID OF SCOTLAND, INTERNATIONAL SHIRT
28TH FEBRUARY 1914
vs. Wales, the badge embroidered SvW 1914, button up collar, long sleeved, interior label for GLASGOW Fred A. Lumley EDINBURGH
Note: This shirt was worn by James Greig Reid (1890-1938) in his first international match for Scotland, a British Home Championship tie vs. Wales played at Celtic Park. The game finished 0-0, with Ireland going on to win the 1913/14 Home Championship outright, the first time in their history. It was also the last time the competition was held for six years.
Reid went on to play a total of three full internationals, along with two further War time internationals and five Scottish League XI appearances.
At club level he played for Lincoln City, Airdrieonians and Clydebank.
It was during his time with Airdrie he saw noteworthy success, finishing the Scottish First Division top scorer in the 1912/13 and 1913/14 seasons, as well as being part of the team to win what remains the club's only Scottish Cup triumph in 1924.
