This week's Football League Paper profiles Andy Reid, noting that his 'career was rekindled by a switch to Charlton in 2006. Though they were relegated from the Premier League, he scored nine goals in 40 games and was a huge crowd favourite before being lured back to the Premiership with Sunderland in a £5m deal.'
He emphasises that he was not obsessed with football and while he was at Charlton he was a regular at the Natural History Museum, the Greenwich Observatory and the theatres of the West End. He is also an accomplished guitar player and owns 23 of them.
Andy Reid would often spend a large part of Sundays in pubs in Greenwich with his guitar where he was always happy to do a slot. A really genuinely ordinary and decent bloke as well as a talented man.
