PAT FORREST introduces a professional footballer—JIMMY SEED
This evening Pat Forrest is to bring to the microphone a well-known figure in Jimmy Seed. Mr. Seed played for Sunderland before the War. He was gassed and afterwards considered unfit. But he joined Mid-Rhondda and then went on to play for the 'Spurs. From them to Sheffield Wednesday who, under his captaincy, won the last twenty games to avoid relegation and carried off the Championship three years in succession. Not bad work for a man who was ' unfit '.
He then became manager of Orient, and is at present manager of Charlton Athletic. Pat Forrest will say something of modern training methods, and Jimmy Seed will give examples from the bad old days of football. He twice broadcast in South Africa when he took a British team out there.
