Although he did not play in Amsterdam, defenceman G. P. Seed of South Manchester was the Great Britain team captain at the 1928 Olympics. He had enjoyed a long playing career going into the Amsterdam Games, and had been playing for his club, The North and for Lancashire since before World War I, and played in the 1913 County Championship final against Middlesex. Ten years later, he was captain of the Lancashire team that beat Middlesex, again to win the Championship. Also in 1923, Seed played for Lancashire against the visiting Syracuse University team, and helped his side to a 10-5 win.
