Playing career

Sealey began his career playing as an amateur for non-league side Warrington Town, before he moved to Liverpool in 1963 for a fee of £25. His solitary appearance came in Liverpool's final game of the 1964–65 season. He scored in Liverpool's 3–1 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers in Division One but was not selected again.[1]

In June 1966, Sealey, John Bennett and Alan Hignett all moved from Liverpool to Chester on free transfers.[2] Sealey made his debut in the second league game of the season, a 3–0 home defeat by Bradford Park Avenue and played in the following two games.[3] Sealey's only other first-team games for Chester were not until January 1968, when he made substitute appearances in a Welsh Cup tie against Bangor City and a Division Four match at Exeter City.[3]

This marked the end of his Chester playing career and he joined Wigan Athletic,[4] where he made 22 league appearances.[5] He later moved on to Winsford United and, in November 1969, to Nantwich Town. Sealey had to retire from football due to a serious knee injury from which he never to recovered.
