Eddie Reeve was an English football midfielder and manager who played in the Football League for Brentford.

Playing career

Brentford

Reeve began his career in the youth team at Division Three side Brentford. Just over a week after turning 18, he made his debut for the club in a 2-0 defeat to Mansfield Town on 11 December 1965.[2] A disastrous 1965/66 season saw the Bees relegated to Division Four for the 1966/67 season and Reeve broke through into the team, making 22 appearances.[3] Reeve managed just two appearances during the 1967/68 season before his departure.[3] He made 26 appearances in all competitions for Brentford.[3]

Lincoln City (loan)

Due to financial problems at Brentford causing the reserve team to be folded, Reeve departed to gain further experience at fellow Division Four side Lincoln City.[4]

Los Angeles Wolves

Reeve moved to the United States in 1968 to join Los Angeles Wolves for the inaugural season of the North American Soccer League.

Non-league football

Reeve returned to England and moved into non-league football in 1969, playing for Hillingdon Borough, Enfield, Hounslow and Woking. He was awarded a testimonial by Hillingdon Borough in 1975.[5]

Managerial career

Reeve managed Southern League South Division side Hounslow in the early 1980s.
