Eric Reginald "Reg" Holland (born 23 January 1940, Sutton-in-Ashfield) is a former English footballer who played as a full back.

Playing career

Holland enjoyed a promising start to his football career by being selected to play for England Schoolboys and England Youth while twice winning the FA Youth Cup with Manchester United.[1] Despite captaining the club's reserve side,[1] Holland was to never make a league appearance at Old Trafford although he was an unused substitute on three occasions.[1]

In March 1960 he moved to Wrexham for £2,000, going on to spend six years with the North Wales side before joining local rivals Chester in March 1966. After six league appearances he dropped into Non-League football with Altrincham. He joined Staffordshire Police and spent 27 years with the force before retiring in 1994.[1]
