Who was Arthur Loach?

Arthur Albert Loach was an English footballer who played as a forward. He joined West Bromwich Albion in August 1882 and became one of the club's first professionals three years later when the FA legalised payments to players. He was on the losing side as Albion lost 0–2 to Blackburn Rovers in the 1886 FA Cup Final. In May 1886 he moved to Aston Villa on a free transfer and remained there until joining Rhyl in August 1888. Loach retired from football in 1896 and went on to run a hotel in Rhyl.
