Arthur Gibson and family lived (next door to me) at 15 Hornby St during my childhood.
It was the home of Arthur's aunt, so it was at a time when the family was experiencing more humble beginnings.

I recall Arthur's active participation in golf - which was regarded as a rich man's pursuit at the time. I feel reasonably confident that those golfing connections are what led to the sports shop business.

His son Michael did 'play out' with us other kids on the street.
I recall him as a tallish, pale, very blond, sensitive lad. I have not met him since those childhood days.
