I've just posted a couple more articles written by Jimmy that were published by 'Sports Post' - (A Leeds publication, according to the inscription in one of his scrapbooks.)
One is about playing away matches in London (he was playing for Sheffield Wednesday at the time), the other is about 'two-footed players' (they don't exist apparently). They were written around 100 years ago.
Further down there are articles about 'football as a profession', referees, and even one about the progress of continental football: 'My experience has shown me that, taking them on the average, teams in Continental countries are about on a level, in playing strength, with the lower placed Third Division clubs.'
Aim to get all of the content onto my new jimmyseed.co.uk website over the next few weeks/months/years.

Not sure if I've posted this before, but I've just uploaded scans of the 1947 FA Cup Celebration Dinner & Dance programme, which includes a Jimmy Seed write-up of the path to the Final. The programme was printed before the result of the Final was known of course. There are four other pages and a scan of Gladys Seed's Invitation.

“DON’T SHOOT THE REF.- HE’S DOING HIS BEST !”

Below, Jimmy Seed, the famous Tottenham Hotspur and English International forward, relates some of his experiences in footer on the Continent. One of his exploits was anything but pleasant, for it might have resulted in the whole side being injured. You’ll enjoy this chat !

Some great quotes in this one:
'It is all very well for people to say that one must remember one's an Englishman when on the Continent, but there are times when the unruly antics of the foreigner "gets one's goat."'
'"...and I am quite prepared to state that in the very near future clubs on the Continent will be challenging and beating us at our own game, as the Aussies have done at cricket." So says Tommy Clay.
The Dutch aro unquestionably approaching our own general standard of play, and those who have toured that country are unanimous in stating that Holland possesses some of the finest players in the world. I know of three of them who have been approached by English clubs for their services—but nothing doing; they prefer to remain in Holland. They are all amateurs, of course, and like most foreigners, view the game of football as a sport and not a means of livelihood.'
