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. He had a long playing career as a right back in non-League football and after retiring, he was Aldershot's first-ever manager and worked as a scout for Charlton Athletic.

Personal life

Seed's younger brother Jimmy was also a professional footballer, who played for Tottenham Hotspur, Sheffield Wednesday and England. Angus Seed served in the 2nd and 17th Battalions of the Middlesex Regiment during the First World War. On the night of 1–2 June 1916, he won the Military Medal for his actions as a stretcher bearer on Vimy Ridge, 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. Later in June 1916, Seed received a shrapnel wound in the right hip, which eventually caused him to retire from football. He died of chronic bronchitis at Kendray Hospital in Barnsley on 7 February 1953.
