Angus Cameron 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.
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.
