Career
Seidel was one of 1911 bis 1914 the SpVgg Fürth on, for which he in the South German Football Federation discharged Championships in Ostkreis denied in one of four regional top divisions, point games.
The up-and-coming club, which was only founded in 1903, was on its way to becoming a top German team and at that time had created one of the most modern facilities in German football with the stadium Sportplatz am Ronhofer Weg - inaugurated on September 11, 1910.
In the 1911/12 season he contributed nine goals in eleven point games to the first regional title, the Eastern District Championship. This entitled to participate in the final round of the South German Championship, which he finished with his team in third place. The English coach William Townley, who came from Karlsruhe FV in April 1911, played a decisive role in the success . With his work, the East District Championship was won again in the following two seasons - Seidel played 17 and 20 point games, in which he scored seven goals in his second season - and the South German Championship in the third attempt
As South German champions, the team had proven that they would also play in the final round of the German championship. It started on May 3, 1914 in Leipzig, as SpVgg 1899 Leipzig was defeated 2-1 thanks to the winning goal in the 83rd minute by the goal scorer of the "Kleeblätter", Karl Franz .
The semi-finals scheduled for May 17, 1914 in Fürth turned out to be no less exciting.

Against this team, SpVgg Fürth were 2-0 down until the 44th minute, before Frigyes Weicz scored the all-important goal and equalized in the 62nd minute.
Since nothing had changed in the result after 90 minutes, it was extended to overtime - according to the rules of the time, additional stoppage times of 10 minutes each followed - until a decision was made. Again it was up to Franz to not only achieve the new lead in the 103rd minute, but also the 4: 3 winning goal in the 146th minute, after the Berlin Prussian with his goal in the 119th minute for the interim equalization would have.
On May 31, 1914, he and his team faced none other than the defending champion from Leipzig in the final . 6,000 spectators had gathered around the Viktoria sports field in Magdeburg to attend the event. Again it was Franz who scored the 1-0 lead after 17 minutes, which was only equalized by Eduard Pendorf in the 83rd minute. In extra time, Weicz took the lead again in the 103rd minute, which only lasted four minutes as Curt Hesse scored to equalize. Once again it was reserved for Franz to score the winning goal to 3-2 in the 153rd minute on presentation of Weicz; seven minutes later referee Kurt von Paquet whistled off the game - SpVgg Fürth were German champions.
