elevenone Posted June 29, 2025 Report Share Posted June 29, 2025 So sad to hear and thoughts with all his family and friends. Ā A true Jags legend and gent and his stories back in the days of boardroom banter at hospitality were a joy to listen to. RIP RobertĀ ā¤ļøšš¤ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted June 29, 2025 Report Share Posted June 29, 2025 What a fantastic ambassador for Partick Thistle! Nothing was ever too much trouble. I can remember him helping my son with a school project on Partick Thistle at the time of Save the Jags. He also came and spoke to my church's Senior Citizens Lunch Club. A wonderful person in every way.Ā Condolences to family and friends.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcapmilkdrinker Posted June 29, 2025 Report Share Posted June 29, 2025 I arrived at Firhill in the mid-90s as a scruffy Australian wearing an Aussie rules teamās jumper and he was nothing but charming and erudite.

dl1971 Posted June 29, 2025 Report Share Posted June 29, 2025 I didn't know him personally, but I heard him wax lyrical at numerous hospitality events. His humanity shone through. A big loss but what a legacy. Go gently Robert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted June 29, 2025 Report Share Posted June 29, 2025 Sad, sad news indeed. A class act of a man: intelligent, educated, polite, funny, sympathetic, helpful, and a greater, non-millionaire supporter of PTFC there can never have been. Thanks for the French and Latin classes, Mr Reid, and for the great chats we had in and around Firhill, and for your hilarious and entertaining Hospitality tours, which were always the highlight for those lucky enough to have attended. I doubt if he realized just how much he was treasured by so many people.Ā RIP Condolences to all Robert's family and friends. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifexile Posted June 29, 2025 Report Share Posted June 29, 2025 Such sad news but also thankful that Robert chose Thistle (or did Thistlechoose him!) and did so much for so many years. Legend is much overused these days but is most fitting for Mr Reid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third Lanark Posted June 29, 2025 Report Share Posted June 29, 2025 Very sad news a true gentleman with such a love for the club.

robphil Posted June 29, 2025 Report Share Posted June 29, 2025 A gentleman and a gentle man. As so many have said, the start of the game often rudely interrupted his hilarious hospitality anecdotes. Many of which I shamelessly reproduced in the pages of the Telegraph. My thoughts with his adoring family... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted June 29, 2025 Report Share Posted June 29, 2025 Agree with everything already said. Condolences to family and friends. I know he is in the HOF, but it would be good if after consulting with the family the club had a tribute of Mr Reid at Firhill. RIP Robert Reid, gone but will never be forgotten.Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rid Skwerr Posted June 29, 2025 Report Share Posted June 29, 2025 So sorry to hear of Robert's passing today.Ā He was a great stalwart of the old 800 Club and a terrific bloke to work with. He always had time for fellow fans and, as others have said, his legendary talks at hospitality were worth the entrance money on their own. We'll all miss him very much.Ā Sincere condolences to his family.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Gilmour Posted June 29, 2025 Report Share Posted June 29, 2025 So many genuine and lovely tributes on here, itās difficult to add much other than to reiterate Robert was - in my very humble opinion- a real gentleman, a Partick Thistle legend (in the truest sense of the word) and a kind, giving thoughtful ambassador for our club. I echo the condolences to his family - please know that Robert will live long in mine and many othersā memories. I wish heād been my French teacher! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belfastjag Posted June 29, 2025 Report Share Posted June 29, 2025 I spoke with Robert on a few occasions. My son in law's father taught with Robert so I had another reason to talk with him. An absolute gentleman and raconteur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
