Edward Gordon Reeve (born 3 December 1947) was an English professional footballer who played as a midfielder in the Football League for Brentford. He later managed Hounslow in non-League football.
Brentford
Reeve began his career in the youth team at Third Division club Brentford.[2] 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.[3] A disastrous 1965–66 season saw the Bees relegated to the Fourth Division for 1966–67 and Reeve broke through into the team, making 22 appearances.[3] Due to financial problems at Brentford causing the reserve team to be folded, Reeve departed to gain further experience at fellow Fourth Division club Lincoln City,[2] but failed to make an appearance.[1] He made just two appearances during the 1967–68 season before his departure.[3] Reeve made 26 appearances in all competitions for Brentford.[2]
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.[4]
Non-League football
Reeve returned to England in 1969 and played in non-League football for Hillingdon Borough, Enfield, Hounslow and Woking.[2][5] He was awarded a testimonial by Hillingdon Borough in 1975.[6]
Managerial career
Reeve managed Southern League South Division club Hounslow in the early 1980s.[2]
Personal life
Reeve's brother Geoff was also a footballer and signed a schoolboy contract with Brentford in September 1966.[7]
