Arthur Reed (1894 – after 1916) was an English professional footballer who scored 12 goals in 28 appearances in the Football League playing as a forward for Birmingham.[2]
Reed was born in
Sheffield and Hallamshire Senior Cup final, because one of the Rovers forwards was injured and another ineligible. He scored two goals in a 3−1 victory and was carried off the field by the Rovers supporters. However, because he had not been officially transferred from Leadmill, Doncaster were fined 10 shillings.[3]
Within a couple of weeks, he had joined Birmingham of the Football League Second Division.[1] He made his debut on 6 April 1912, scoring twice in a 4–0 win at home to Burnley.[4] Over the next three seasons Reed played only intermittently, apart from a run of nine consecutive games at the end of the 1912–13 season in which he scored six goals,[5] and he retired through injury in 1917.[1]
