TOM MCARTHUR
Note: Books suggest he played two games for Argyle, but this is wrong; he made just the one appearance. The common mistake is because of an incorrect line-up often quoted for the game on 27 Feb 1954, as proven by reference to local newspaper archives.
Born: 23 April 1925
Came from: Leicester City Went to: Loughborough
First game: 06 March 1954 Last game: 06 March 1954
Appearances: 1 (1/0) Goals: 0
McArthur started his career with his hometown side, Neilston Victoria, before joining Leicester City in 1947. He made nearly 100 appearances in seven years at Filbert Street before moving to Argyle as a potential successor to Jack Chisholm. However, he played only once before leaving the club a year later to join Loughborough side, Brush Sports.
