Seamus O'Connell

Seamus O'Connell

Seamus O'Connell (born 11 January 1930) was an English amateur footballer who played during the 1950s. He was born in Carlisle.

A forward, O'Connell divided his playing time with working for his family's cattle-farming business, and turned out for the likes of Middlesbrough and Queens Park. He joined Chelsea in August 1954 and scored a hat-trick on his debut (one of only two Chelsea players to do this, the other being George Hilsdon) against Manchester United in October 1954, although his side still lost 6-5. The season was nonetheless a success for O'Connell and Chelsea, as he scored eight goals in eleven league games and helped the club win their first League Championship.

O'Connell remained with Chelsea for another season before returning to the amateur game, and ended his time at the club with 12 goals from 17 games. He was a three-time winner of the FA Amateur Cup (with Bishop Auckland in 1955 and 1956, and Crook Town in 1959. He won four caps for the England amateurs.
