Angus Seed MM (6 February 1893 – 7 February 1953) was an English professional football right back, best remembered for his 16 years as manager of Barnsley in the Football League. He had a long playing career in non-league football and after retiring, was Aldershot's first-ever manager and worked as a scout for Charlton Athletic.

Personal life

Seed's younger brother Jimmy was also a footballer. Seed fought with the 17th (Service) Battalion of the Duke of Cambridge's Own (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. 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.
