Showing  a Portrait of Jimmy Seed. Manager of Charlton Athletic Football Club.

Jimmy Seed, seen at work in his office at the Valley, has managed Charlton Athletic Football Club for the last five years and, under his knowledgable guidance, the team has risen from the third division of the League to a high position in the first, and it has reached the fifth round of the F.A. Cup competition, in which Aston Villa are played at the Valley to-morrow.  Among his countless duties, Jimmy Seed looks after the financial side of the club, the occasional transfer and buying of players (Charlton Athletic, incidentally, prefer to train up their junior players rather than to purchase them from other clubs), and he spends much time in watching the performances of future opponents.  Besides this, he has to deal with an inundation of correspondence.  He works twelve hours a day and often longer.  A shrewd business man, there is nothing of the game he does not know, for he played for Tottenham Hotspur for eight years and for Sheffield Wednesday for four years at inside-right.  When time permits he watches the practice matches at the beginning of the season with the trainer, and the advice that he gives, backed by a ripe experience, has done much to bring about the high standard of play with which one associates this club.

Condition is Very Good.
