He made his Linfield debut in a 2-0 defeat by Glentoran on 6 November 1965. He was one of the stars of the Linfield team in the 1966-1967 season when the club reached the Quarter Final of the European Cup, before losing narrowly on aggregate to CSKA Sofia of Bulgaria. Arthur scored three goals in the European tie against Aris of Luxembourg that season and his final tally of five European goals is still a club record held jointly with Philosophy Scott and current star striker, Glenn Ferguson.
A former schoolteacher from Birkenhead in Merseyside, Arthur joined New Brighton on the Wirral from Linfield in September 1967 and around 45 years ago he emigrated to Sydney, Australia.
Arthur died in Sydney on 8 November 2007.
