Biography:
Ted Seymour was one of the best players on the field as Wales were defeated 2-1 by Ireland on their way to a first Home Nations Championship. Almost immediately he earned a move to Cardiff City, but made little impact before returning across the Irish Sea.
He made his debut for Glentoran in a Belfast City Cup match on the 18th December, 1915 against Cliftonville at the Oval, scoring twice in a 4-1 victory and enjoyed a number of trophy successes. After a season with Linfield he took another go over the water with Luton.
From A Bohemian Sporting Life:
[An] amateurs in keeping with the traditions in place at Bohs which meant that they were in a minority even by 1914 as most of the major teams in Ireland had already embraced professionalism by that time. The two main exceptions being Bohemians and Cliftonville. Seymour was an outside-right for Bohemians and one of the stand-out forwards for the Gypsies at the time, the son of an RIC officer who lived in the nearby Phoenix Park he won his first amateur cap for Ireland by 1912 scoring in a 3-2 victory against England, the same year he would win the Leinster Senior Cup with Bohemians. His lone senior cap would come in Ireland’s opening match of the Home Nations Championship, an away fixture against Wales which Ireland won 2-1 when he was called up as a replacement for Everton’s injured winger John Houston. Sheffield United forward Billy Gillespie got both goals in that game but Seymour obviously impressed over the course of the match as he was quickly signed up by Cardiff City on the strength of his performance.
...
Ted Seymour’s stay in the Welsh capital was brief and included works in a Welsh munitions factory to support the War effort, he left Cardiff City in 1915 and returned to Ireland with Glentoran for whom he lined out for much of the War years. Despite twice winning the Irish Cup (once with Glentoran and later with Linfield) Seymour was never again selected to represent Ireland.
