From a local mining family Arthur Lorriman signed from Sharlston in 1922, his career took a slightly unusual path. He made his debut as a winger in Rovers’ second season, and made sporadic appearances in the three-quarters. Solid, but lacking in pace, the transition to the pack was logical, but when he was tried at hooker for the first time in April 1924 it was a real success. First choice hooker was Pep Hepworth who had regular issues with referees and the disciplinary committee. Thus, Lorriman’s second career as second-choice hooker proved quite rewarding.

In 1928, his rugby career ended when he emigrated to Canada with his young family. Once in Canada he settled in Glen Williams Ontario.  He went to school to learn anatomy and became a medical masseuse. (His grandson remembers he didn’t like the term or methods of a Chiropractor).  He had an office in his basement and would treat everyone including sports professionals. He gained quite a following with people saying ‘they would crawl in and walk out’.  If people didn’t have money he would treat them for free.  For fun he enjoyed being involved in thoroughbred horse racing and vacationing in Florida.  

 However, he never forgot his local roots sending a telegram wishing the Rovers well before the 1952 Challenge Cup Final.  He used to regularly make jokes about all the padding that football players wear in the NFL and CFL and compared it to the real game of Rugby League.

He died aged 90 and is buried in Glen Williams.
