Beginning while he was still a schoolboy at Winchester College, Archie Gibson played a few matches for Essex from 1895 to 1897, and then most of the season in 1910.
[1][2] His only fifty came in Essex's victory over Kent in July 1910, when he made 71 batting at number three.
He spent most of his working life as a tea planter in Ceylon, where he was the superintendent of Diyagama Estate, Agrapatana.
[5][6] He was highly regarded by the Ceylonese for his rapport with and care for the local people, and a cricket match, Sinhalese Sports Club versus A. L. Gibson's XI, was played in his honour in 1931 just before his departure from Ceylon.
