Heartbreaking news. A proper club man, a proper gentleman both on and off the field. My thoughts are with everyone at the club, his family and friends. Sleep tight, Arthur

An absolute tragedy, Arthur was a gentleman and a thoroughly decent human being. He loved nothing more than playing, watching, coaching, or umpiring cricket. He had the respect of everyone in the game and his loss will be felt not just at Whitehaven CC but across the game as a whole. RIP Lambo, one of the best.
Mike Hawkins
Devastating news to know Arthur through being on the same council. Although we are from different political parties I found him to be a very pleasant, polite knowledgeable, and hard-working young man working hard for his community’s thoughts and prayers for his family at this difficult time
