Arthur Bottom

Arthur Edwin Bottom (28 February 1930 – 18 April 2012) was an English footballer of the 1950s and 1960s.

Bottom is the sixth highest all-time scorer for York City, with a total of 105 goals from 158 appearances for the club.

In 1958, Newcastle United signed Bottom from York for a £4,500 transfer fee.

He scored seven goals in eight appearances – including two on his debut – for Newcastle that season, helping the club to avoid relegation.

The following season, he made only three more appearances (scoring three goals) before he was transferred to Chesterfield for £5,000.
