Everything about Stan Seymour totally explained

Stan Seymour (born May 16, 1895 in Kelloe - 1978) was a footballer who played and managed Newcastle United. Stan Seymour is one of the all-time Newcastle United greats, and was known as 'Mr. Newcastle' after the various years and roles he delivered for the club. As a player, despite his small physique, he was famous for tearing defences from down the left wing. After originally being rejected by Newcastle United as a teenager; being told to 'come back when you grow up', he joined Bradford City where he'd a short spell making only one appearance before joining Scottish side Greenock Morton. He developed as a player at Morton, becoming popular with the locals who called him 'The little Englishman'. His performances were noticed back in England and he was eventually offered a transfer to the club who originally rejected him, Newcastle United.
   It didn't take long for Seymour to become a crowd favourite at St. James' Park, his performances helped Newcastle win the FA Cup in 1924 (a 2-0 win over Aston Villa, in which he scored). He was also part of the Newcastle team that were crowned Division 1 Champions in 1926-27, such displays also earned him a call-up to the England squad in a tour to Australia. However in 1929, he was to leave the club after a disagreement with the officials. This was to be the end of his playing days as he decided to set up a clothes shop in Newcastle and later became involved in journalism. However his good service for Newcastle United were not forgotten and he was appointed the club's new Director in 1938.
   As Director he'd control of first-team affairs, but like Frank Watt couldn't pick the team under the Director's Committee. However he'd more influence on who could play than Watt had during his time at the club. He was manager of the club with the Directors Committee from 1938-1954. The club won the FA Cup in 1951 and retained it in 1952 whilst Seymour was at the helm.
   His son Stan Seymour Jnr later became chairman of Newcastle United.
