Gordon Isbister Reed (6 May 1913 – 1978) was an English footballer who played as a centre forward in the Football League for Bristol City, Newport County, Queens Park Rangers, Darlington and Gateshead. He was on the books of Huddersfield Town and Everton without appearing for the first-team of either, and also played non-league football for Medomsley Edge, Consett Technical Institute, Consett, Spen Black and White and Spennymoor United.[3] Reed retired from football in his mid-twenties to take up a musical career, initially as guitarist, singer and bandleader, and later in the music publishing industry.
