In the latest of our Pics from the Past series, Craig Stoddart goes back to 1993

On loan John Reed scores on his first start for the club during a match against Gillingham at Feethams on March 27th, 1993.

The forward played in the final ten games of the season, which saw Quakers finish 15th in the newly-named Division Three, after joining on loan from Sheffield United.

He had come off the bench a week earlier against fellow strugglers Northampton Town, a match Darlington won 3-1 as they steadily picked up points towards the end of the campaign, and Reed went on to make eight starts and two appearances as a substitute.

He also netted Quakers’ last goal of the season, the only goal of the game against Colchester United on May 4.

DARLINGTON: Prudhoe, Gaughan, Ball, Isaacs, Parkin, O’Shaughnessy, Reed, Toman (Juryeff), Dobie, Mardenborough, Shaw.
