Seed's younger brother Jimmy was also a footballer. Seed fought with the 17th Battalion of the Duke of Cambridge's Own 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. One of the men Seed dragged back, former Arsenal assistant trainer Tom Ratcliff, would later become Seed's trainer at Barnsley. 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.Honours
