Seaham has produced several gifted footballers: Terry Fenwick and Brian Marwood both played for England. Brian Marwood worked as a commentator for Sky Sports after his career as a footballer. There was a Seaham Wednesday FC that existed for only 10 years. The club provided opportunities for footballers who lived or worked in Seaham and could not play on the weekend due to their work.
Besides football and many other sports activities such as cricket, bowls and rugby, Seaham also holds an annual Town Council Sea Angling Championship in November.
