ramblur Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Sad to hear that. Arthur was a decent enough player,but I think getting up to pace was difficult for him. I can still see him sitting on the ball during breaks in play,to get a breather.RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Ramage 4 EVA Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I had never heard of Arthur playing for the RAMS just had a quick look was signed by Clough and Taylor and apparently he lost his place in the team when Willie Carlin arrived at the Baseball ground. Sad to hear R.I.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimeram Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I liked Arthur. Not greatly gifted but a grafter that always gave 100%. I think we signed him from Glentoran for about £10k as I recall Rip Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big shame that he was so old when he tried to make the transition.Very well liked by the fans,but that's usually the case with 100%ers. When I first started watching,Jack had moved back from inside forward to wing back (in old currencies) and was past his best,but as a very young lad I could see how the fans warmed to him with 'Get em going,Jack'. During that Tim Ward era,Mick Hopkinson never quite cemented a regular place,but was always a favourite for his effort. I could then mention Billy Hodgson, and then later on Billy Hughes and Billy Caskey (no,that's not a mistake,because I often heard elements of the Popside encouraging him). Taking Jack out of the equation,because he was obviously a very good player before I saw him, Arthur was in some very good company there in players that heavily augmented their abilities with great effort.
