Samuel "Sammy" Reid (13 October 1939 – 9 November 2014) was a Scottish footballer who played as an inside forward. He scored the winning goal for Berwick Rangers in their 1966–67 Scottish Cup victory against Rangers, in what is rated as one of the greatest shocks in the history of Scottish football.[1]

Reid also played for Motherwell, Falkirk, Clyde and Dumbarton.[2] He was Bill Shankly's first signing as Liverpool manager, but Reid never played a first-team game for the Anfield club.[3]
