Originally from Glyncoch, Chris Seldon came up through the ranks of Pontypridd Youth before progressing to the club’s senior team in 1973. Time spent in service with the Welsh Guards, alongside his Ponty back row partner, Mike Shellard, helped mould Chris into a hard as nails back row forward who gave nor asked any quarter on the field of play, he was once known as the toughest in Pontypridd's history. Gaining honours with Wales B against Argentina in 1975, Chris was a member of the senior national squad, but unlucky not to win a full Welsh cap. He turned professional with St Helens in 1979, playing 26 times and scoring once, before returning to Wales to become a founder member of Cardiff City Blue Dragons. He played 50 times for the Welsh club, scoring eight tries, before ending his career at Southend Invicta. Having originally worked as a machine operator, Chris later set up his own insurance company in Pontypridd.
