Angus Cameron Seed MM (6 February 1893 – 7 February 1953) was an English professional footballer, best remembered for his 16 years as manager of Barnsley in the Football League.[1] He had a long playing career as a right back in non-League football and after retiring,[2] he was Aldershot's first-ever manager and worked as a scout for Charlton Athletic.[3] [4]
Seed's younger brother Jimmy was also a professional footballer, who played for Tottenham Hotspur, Sheffield Wednesday and England.[5] Angus Seed served in the 2nd and 17th Battalions of the Middlesex Regiment during the First World War.[6] On the night of 1–2 June 1916, he won the Military Medal for his actions as a stretcher bearer on Vimy Ridge,[7] dragging wounded men back to the British dugouts under heavy fire. One of the men Seed dragged back, former Arsenal assistant trainer Tom Ratcliff, later became Seed's trainer at Barnsley.[8] Later in June 1916, Seed received a shrapnel wound in the right hip, which eventually caused him to retire from football.[9] He died of chronic bronchitis at Kendray Hospital in Barnsley on 7 February 1953.
