At Everton he had his most successful time, winning the FA Cup, 2 Football League 1st Divisions, a European Cup Winners’ medal and 4 Charity shields. He later moved to QPR in 1989. He enjoyed lots of individual honours as well, these consisted of; PFA Players’ Player of the year, Greatest Everton XI and Everton Giants. He had the great honour of playing for the England where he won 13 caps, played in the 1986 World Cup. He also had the misery of being in the team when Maradona scored the goal nicknamed The Hand of God. He was also one of the players beaten when Maradona ran from the halfway line and slotted the ball into the back of the net.

In 1990 he started his managing career with Manchester city, then in 1995 he moved to Sunderland where he successfully guided them to 2 1st division titles, in June 1999 he took over of the England U21’s, he then joined Leeds United in March 2003, a year later he went on to join Coventry City, after 4 years there he surprisingly took over the Thailand national team for a year when he moved on to become assistant manager at Stoke City. In 2010 he had the tough job of managing Plymouth Argyle. It was extremely tough because Plymouth went into administration, he didn’t have any money to buy players and he went unpaid for 6 months! Overall he has had an extremely successful career, Well Done Peter Reid!!!

Coaching Career

To be a coach you first need to have qualifications. The first one is a JFO that is the basic training, you can be in the ages of 13 to 16 .The second one is level 1 where u put them into games and get all the equipment and clearing it up. The 3rd one is where u put them into games then stop them when you see improvement. Uefa B is the 4th one where they can be a coach for any team in your local area. The 5th is the A licence is where you can be a manager for any team. The 6th is pro licence is where you can be a coach or manager in the premier league, championship, league 1, league 2 ect.

The coach has to get up at about 8:30 and set up the training equipment for the players for the day. When they have finished the coach has to pick all the equipment then the player go home or go to the gym. Sometimes the coach has to stay to watch films of the opposite team and sometimes it could take 18 hours. The coach has to watch and learn how many times a player passes, crosses, shoot, tackles, headers they won.

Peter Reid

Peter Reid was born on the 20th of June 1956.Reid is 54 year old former player and has won 13 England caps during his career. He has been to lots of places and been in lots of football teams.

Reid's last job in charge was with Thailand, who he left by mutual consent in September 2009.In 1995 Reid joined Sunderland where he spent more than seven years, twice winning promotion as he established the Wearsiders in the Premier League. Having left Sunderland in October 2002, he returned to football five months later in the Premier League at Leeds, where he spent eight months.

The Liverpudlian then spent seven months at Coventry before being fired in January 2005. Reid agreed to become Thailand manager on a four-year contract in September 2008 but left after just 12 months in charge.

Peter Reid is now the manager of Plymouth Argyle and start in June 2010. He has been the manager for a year now and has been making a lot of progress in his last year. His team has been working very hard to get as high up leader board as possible. Let’s hope they can do their best in every game and win. He has been doing player layouts on the field and giving people advice on the field. It has been a tough year for him telling the players what to do and what to say to other people.

My personal favorite thing to do is interviewing the players, meeting the player and getting their signature too.
