Career
Born in Walton, near Wakefield, West Riding of Yorkshire, Seal played for Upton Robins before he joined Wolverhampton Wanderers in March 1968.[1] He made one appearance in the First Division for the club. During the 1969–70 season, he was to transfer to Walsall.[2] He joined Barnsley in May 1971.[1] After one season with the club, he joined York City in July 1972 for a fee of £6,000 and Kevin McMahon. He had a difficult first season with the club, scoring three goals in 31 league appearances. However, during the next season, he formed a fine strike partnership with striker Chris Jones, during which he scored 17 league goals, as York won promotion to the Second Division.[2]
Seal was York's top scorer for the 1974–75 season, with a total of 18 goals.[3] During this season he scored a magnificent goal in a 1–1 draw against Arsenal in the FA Cup.[2] He was joint top scorer with Micky Cave for the 1975–76 season, with a total of 8 goals.[4] He was transferred to Darlington in November 1976, where he played for three seasons. He finished his league career with Rochdale.[2]
He made his home in York and played in local football for a number of years, working as a self-employed painter and decorator, and later as a milkman.[2] In 1993, he was appointed as a scout by York City. [5]
