David Andrew Seaman MBE (born 19 September 1963 in Rotherham, South Yorkshire) is a former English football goalkeeper who played for several clubs, most notably Arsenal. He retired from the game on 13 January 2004, following a recurring shoulder injury. He was awarded the MBE in 1997 for services to the sport.

The peak of his career was during his period as Arsenal and England goalkeeper in the 1990s and early 2000s; during his time at Arsenal he won many medals including three league championships (1991, 1998, 2002), four FA Cups (1993, 1998, 2002, 2003), the League Cup in 1993 and the European Cup Winners Cup in 1994. During this time he also played in the 1998 and 2002 World Cups, and Euro 96 and Euro 2000, and is England's second-most capped goalkeeper with 75 caps, after Peter Shilton.

Seaman's career highs came in his successful performance in UEFA Euro 96 and in Arsenal's UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, Premier League and FA Cup (including a superb save from Paul Peschisolido in the FA Cup 2002 � 03) campaigns in the mid-90s and early-2000s. Notable lows came with two costly errors, both from long-range efforts - conceding a last-minute goal in the 1995 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final to Nayim and conceding to a Ronaldinho free-kick in the 2002 FIFA World Cup quarter-final.

Seaman is left-handed, but throws the football with his right arm and kicks with his right foot.

David Seaman Video

Gavin Henson & David Seaman entered the record books on Monday 6th December as they both successfully caught balls launched from over 100m above Wembley National Stadium. The record-breaking moment marked the launch of Cadbury Spots v Stripes' nationwide game of Catch. 100 GPS-tracked, spotty & stripey balls have been released across the country to give as many people as possible a chance to play. The ball that gets passed the most - as tracked live at www.spotsvstripes.com - wins the game, 5000 points for its team and £5000 for one lucky thrower. The sheer act of passing the ball will also trigger the donation of games kit to charity in time for Christmas through Cadbury's partnership with Groundwork. To supplement the real-life game Cadbury has created a unique Twitter version of #Catch. Singer-songwriter Pixie Lott threw the first #SpottyBall at her fans, whilst Radio 1 presenter Scott Mills rose to the challenge and threw the #StripeyBall out into the Twittersphere. Facebook fans can play 'Spot/Stripe The Ball', and guess which ball will be the most passed in real life, for a chance to win Panasonic TA1 video cameras or a 42" 3D TV: www.facebook.com or www.facebook.com
