David Seaman was born on September 19, 1963, in Rotherham, England. Growing up, he was a talented young goalkeeper who played for various local clubs, including Rotherham United's youth team. However, he was released by the club at the age of 16, which led him to join non-league side Peterborough United.

Seaman spent three seasons with Peterborough, making over 100 appearances and establishing himself as one of the top goalkeepers in the non-league circuit. His impressive form caught the attention of Leeds United, who signed him in 1985. Seaman spent two seasons with Leeds, making 64 appearances and helping the team win the Second Division title in 1987.

In 1988, Seaman made the move to Arsenal, where he would go on to spend 13 seasons and become a legendary figure at the club. During his time at Arsenal, Seaman won three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1994. He was also named the Premier League's Golden Glove winner in 1997 and was a key member of the Arsenal team that won the "Invincibles" season in 2003-04, when the team went unbeaten in the league.

Seaman's impressive form at Arsenal earned him a call-up to the English national team, and he went on to make 75 appearances for his country between 1988 and 2002. He was a key player in the team that reached the semifinals of the 1990 World Cup and the 1996 European Championship.
