Alright, so y’all wanna know ’bout this fella, Michael Seaton, huh? Well, lemme tell ya what I’ve heard, though I ain’t no fancy soccer expert or nothin’. This boy, Michael, he’s a soccer player, a pretty good one from what I gather.

Born inna Jamaica, place called Spanish Town, back in 1996. May 1st, to be exact. So, do the math, he’s gettin’ on in years, maybe around twenty-eight or so. Young enough to still kick a ball around, though, that’s for sure.
Now, they say he’s a forward, which means he’s the one up there tryin’ to score goals. You know, like in them games on TV where they run around and kick that black and white ball? Yeah, that’s him. He’s kinda tall, taller’n my grandson Billy, I reckon. They say he’s somethin’ like 183 centimeters, which is… well, it’s tall, alright?
This Michael fella, he started playin’ soccer when he was just a young’un. Went through somethin’ called an “Academy system” with a team called D.C. United. Sounds fancy, but it just means they taught him how to play good. He even played for them in the big leagues, the MLS, back in 2013. Big deal, that was. Musta been proud as a peacock, his mama.
- He plays for a team in Germany now.
- SV somethin’-or-other.
- It’s a fourth-tier team, so not the tippy-top, but still good soccer, I reckon.
They say he’s got all sorts of skills, can play different ways. Like, he can be the main scorer, or he can help set up other fellas to score. Versatile, they call it. Sounds like he knows his way around that soccer field.
And get this, this boy even plays for Jamaica’s national team. That’s a big honor, representin’ your whole country. Must be somethin’ special to watch him play, all that runnin’ and kickin’. I bet he makes his grandma proud, just like my Billy makes me proud when he catches a fish bigger’n his hand.

Now, I heard tell there’s another Michael Seaton, a lawyer fella who knows all about taxes. But that ain’t the same one, see? Our Michael, he’s the soccer player. Don’t get ‘em mixed up now. It’s easy to do when folks got the same name. Like in my family, we got three Marys!
If you wanna know more ’bout his goals and how many times he kicked the ball right, you gotta look it up online. They keep track of all that stuff, stats they call it. Numbers and figures, more than I can make sense of, that’s for sure. But them folks who love soccer, they eat that stuff up. They even know how much he weighs, which I ain’t sure why that matters so much, but there you have it.
So, that’s the lowdown on Michael Seaton, the soccer player. A Jamaican fella, plays forward, pretty good at what he does. He’s traveled around, playin’ for different teams, and he’s even represented his country. Can’t ask for much more than that, can ya? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my stew, don’t want it burnin’ on the stove. All this talkin’ about soccer made me hungry.
