Playing career

Arthur began his senior career with Merewether at the age of 17. He later joined Wallsend where he played over 400 first grade appearances and served as captain. He later had stints with Lysaghts Orb and Blacksmiths Rangers.[4]

Arthur was a member of the Australian team at the 1956 Summer Olympics. The Sydney Morning Herald called his performance in his debut against Japan "outstanding", noting that he was a surprise selection for the team. After Australia's elimination against India in their second match, Arthur only played once more for the national team, a post-Olympics friendly match against India in December 1956.[5][6][7][8]
