== Carrera atlética ==
Sellars creció en su ciudad natal de Sheffield y allí asistió a la escuela Hindle House. Cuando era adolescente entrenó en su tierra natal con los clubes de fútbol FC Barnsley y Sheffield Wednesday. He also played at the amateur level in the Sunday League for a team that was connected to Leeds United and at the age of 16 he joined the Leeds youth team. In July 1983 he was taken over into the professional department after he had already been in the second division team's professional team for the first time on May 7, 1983 against Shrewsbury Town (0-0). Celebró su avance deportivo en la Segunda División de la Liga de Fútbol 1984/85 | 1984/85 season when he established himself as a strong left winger in a young team coached by Eddie Gray and scored seven goals in 39 second division games. Poco más de un año después, Sellars se mudó al Blackburn Rovers, rival de la liga, por £20,000 después de pedirle a Leeds la aprobación de la transferencia.

En seis temporadas en Blackburn, Sellars jugó 202 partidos de segunda división y marcó 35 goles. En su primera temporada, en la temporada 1986/87, contribuyó decisivamente a ganar la Copa de Socios Titulares. Luego mostró actuaciones destacadas en la Segunda División de la Liga de Fútbol 1989/90 | En la temporada 1989/90 marcó 14 goles en el campeonato, por lo que fue elegido “Equipo del año” (PFA Team of the Year). Dos años más tarde volvió a recibir este premio y fue un factor decisivo en el camino a la Segunda División de la Liga de Fútbol 1991/92 | promotion to the new Premier League in 1992. In the play-off final against Leicester City on May 31, 1992 at Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley Stadium, he was in the starting line-up when Blackburn won a 1-0 victory thanks to a penalty from Mike Newell (footballer)|Mike Newell. Esta fue también su última aparición con Blackburn, ya que regresó al Leeds United en julio de 1992 por 800.000 libras esterlinas; El club había ganado recientemente el campeonato inglés (Primera división de la liga de fútbol 1991/92). El regreso a Leeds también estuvo motivado emocionalmente para Sellars y, en retrospectiva, no resultó ser su mejor decisión. On the one hand, Blackburn, supported by the financial donations of his patron Jack Walker (entrepreneur), would win the 1994/95 Premier League championship three years later. Además, en el Leeds United estuvo constantemente plagado de lesiones y, por lo general, se encontraba al margen de la acción. Coach Howard Wilkinson had tried to strengthen the team for the 1992/93 UEFA Champions League, but Sellars was unable to hold his own in a star-studded midfield with competitors such as Gordon Strachan, David Batty, Gary McAllister and Gary Speed ​​- a fate he shared with Steve Hodge and David Rocastle. The surplus of midfielders was compounded by a problem in the right-back position over the course of the season and in order for Wilkinson to have the necessary financial resources to sign David Kerslake, Sellars left the club in March 1993 for 700,000 pounds in the direction of the second division club Newcastle United, who under coach Kevin Keegan achieved promotion to the Premier League in the 1992/93 Football League First Division just a few months later Sellars contributed 13 apariciones en liga. El momento más destacado para Sellars fue su gol de tiro libre en la victoria por 1-0 contra su archirrival AFC Sunderland. Even after promotion, Sellars played a key role for the "Magpies", appeared in the Premier League 1993/94|Premier League with 10 assists and ultimately reached third place with the promoted club.[https://fbref.com/en/players/f767b113/Scott-Sellars Scott Sellars] (FBRef)

A partir de la temporada siguiente, 1994/95, volvieron sus problemas de lesiones, por lo que sólo disputó 18 partidos de la Premier League en año y medio. Finalmente, el 7 de diciembre de 1995 fichó por 750.000 libras por el Bolton Wanderers, que luchaban por mantenerse en la Premier League siendo equipos ascendidos. The 22 remaining appearances were ultimately not enough to stay in the league, but after the Premier League 1995/96|relegation as bottom of the table, they were directly promoted back as second division champions in the Football League First Division 1996/97|season 1996/97. This pattern seemed to repeat itself in the following two years, because after the Premier League 1997/98|First Division relegation in 1998, Sellars reached the promotion playoffs with Bolton in the Football League First Division 1998/99|1998/99 season. In the final there, however, they lost 2-0 to Watford FC and Sellars came on as a substitute for Michael Johansen in the 66th minute of the final. This was also his last appearance for Bolton and Sellars joined second division rivals Huddersfield Town on a free transfer in June 1999. There he played 49 championship games before moving to Denmark to Aarhus GF in April 2001 shortly before the club's relegation to the third division in the Football League First Division 2000/01 | Temporada 2000/01. His short stay there lasted until December 2001. From March 2002, after returning to England, he played for the fourth division club Mansfield Town and shortly afterwards achieved promotion to the next league with one of his clubs. After one last Football League Second Division 2002/03|season, which ended with a final relegation as penultimate, his active career also came to an end at the age of 37.[https://www.sporting-heroes.net/footbal ... es_a37051/ Scott SELLARS - Huddersfield Town - League Appearances] (Sporting Heroes)[https://www.ozwhitelufc.net.au/players_ ... llarsS.php Scott Sellars] (OzWhite's Leeds United F.C.
