They had no children. She left him on 31 March 1971. In an undated letter to Michael EDGOOSE he wrote of how he and his wife had 350 rows in 23 years, blaming her insistence on having her own way in everything. He was glad to be rid of what he called "a thoroughly evil woman":
"I am very sorry I haven't answered your letter before. I have been working much overtime at work, and also my wife who deserted me on 31st March, '71 was responsible for a summons for deserting her, and I have had weeks and weeks of work collatting information and seeing my solicitors and the hearing had to be postponed from Sept.24th to Oct.29th. Between those two dates the Court decreed that I should pay £ 4 a week maintenance. On Oct.29th my wife told many lies on oath in the witness box, I had one weak point, and as I had had to pay maintenance before even I appeared which to all intents and purposes meant I was prejudged, my lawyer not being able to make any progress at all through my wife's lies we decided to abandon the case as the Court was obviously against us. I am now having to pay £ 6 a week maintenance. In 5 years I can get a divorce and escape any further injustice. All my married life consisted of was misery. There were 350 rows in 23 years because all she understood was that she must have her own way in everything. I am thankful that I'm rid of a thoroughly evil woman and that after 5 years I can remarry.
Now I've explained my long silence I'll tell you the one fact only I know. The date of my birth was 13/9/11 and I was born at Walton Highway (3 miles from Wisbech) at 'Lynton', next house to the Robin Hood going from Wisbech to King's Lynn.
Yes, I will look in and see you if I am down your way. My hours of work are 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. one week, and the next week 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
With best wishes now,
Yours sincerely,
Ronald W. EDGOOSE"

In an undated letter in 1968 Annie Faith EDGOOSE nee BOAST wrote to Michael James EDGOOSE to report that she had "heard Ron EDGOOSE talking on the wireless about his aerial. He is the late coalman's son who used to live in Walton Highway. They always said they are not related to our family."

According to a letter he wrote from 8 Sandringham Road, Walton, Peterborough, on 16 June 1968 he sold the houses and land at Walton Highway he had inherited from his parents and moved to Peterborough in 1962, working first at a toy factory and then from 1965 at Peterborough's paper mill. He retired on 12 August 1971.

He was a television fanatic and had a telescopic aerial tower installed in his garden. This was apparently widely reported both on television and in the local and national newspapers in 1968.
"Tower with a view
Aerial riggers moved into the back garden of a Peterborough house yesterday to erect a 70ft. high tower which Mr. Ron EDGOOSE hopes will bring him at least 10 channels on his 26in television set.
Mr. EDGOOSE, a papermill worker, has spent his summer holiday digging and cementing the foundation for the galvanised steel tower after getting planning permission. The aerial has cost him �150 which he says is money well spent".

He wrote to Michael EDGOOSE on 27 August 1968:
"I was pleased to see your letter and receive the photographs which I had been very pleased to let you have. I shall very likely look you up during my holidays next year. At present I am working about 75 hours a week against a usual 66 hours and often it is a 7 day week. Usually I work 6 a.m. to 12.0 on Saturdays, but temporarily and for the past three months I have been working nights every other week, and finishing about 4 p.m. on Saturday with usually 7-12 on Sunday. Last week my gross pay came to �29/9/-.
As regards my teletower which you have read about, I enclose two cuttings from the Peterborough Standard who first interviewed me and made my plan so widely known that I have been on BBC and Anglia about June 16th (information), on BBC on August 13th, picture and information, when the teletower had been erected on Monday August 12th, on BBC VHF home service at 7.15 and 8.15 and on Radio 4 in "Today" at 7.10 and 8.10.
I should have been covered by Anglia and London ITV (your local station and one of my favourite long distance stations - about 85 miles from here) about August 13th but for the black-out. You will find a telegram I received from your London ITV and a leaflet giving details of the tower. Please return the enclosures at your leisure, there is no hurry. I expect you will have read about the tower in either the Express or News of the World (articles about June 16th) or in the Mail, Mirror, Sketch or Sun about 2nd August. Peterborough's papers other than the Standard - the Evening Telegraph and the Advertiser - have covered the tower and my TV reception four times between June 14th and August 13th. A press agency in Peterborough caused interest in other national papers when a reporter of theirs first reported my activities in the Mirror on 2 August.
The teletower is up because but because of my t.v. friend who does my aerial work has been busy on suitable days or prevented by the weather the aerials haven't been put on the tower yet. Because of information friends I have made in different pparts of the country have given me I am changing my aerials so that I can receive more British programmes. At present I have a rotator which moves a channel 10 aerial or a channel 6 in any direction and a BBC 1 aerial and a BBC 2 aerial which are fixed to the pole on a chimney and cannot move. By pointing the channel 10 aerial south I get London ITV and Southern. London ITV comes in every (sic), Southern once a fortnight when it comes in for about a week. Sometimes Southern ITV in the Isle of Wight comes in three times as loud as Anglia at Nendlesham, Norwich although it is 120 miles away and Nendlesham only 70.
With all best wishes now,
Ronald"

The letter he wrote to Michael EDGOOSE in December 1977 makes extraordinary reading, but then he was always said to have been a little odd:
"I have a lot of news for you this Christmas. I have now retired - from August 12th 1977 and since then I have been contacting a very good friend of mine who is an excellent radio and television engineer who has helped me a lot since he wrote to me 7 years ago when I got so much publicity in the local and national press for my TV reception. After some delay in July because one of my aerials was only obtainable from the USA more is being done by my friend after he cancelled out this aerial because the customs charges would have been excessive if I'd had this aerial and he is making one himself to replace one he made himself earlier but which had rusted up and which proved while it wasn't rusty that it was an excellent aerial and he is providing me with another aerial which is new and exactly like it, and a duplicate of another excellent aerial which had to be reduced in size because one side of it had to be scrapped because one side couldn't miss my garage when I winched the tower down to the ground for maintenance. He is also supplying me soon now with 2 more aerials and I shall then have 4 excellent aerials. Since 7 years ago I bought a rotator which caused me years of delay because it had a serious defect in it which made it impossible to get it to turn the aerials and I had an overloading problem because of having very excellent cable which had one serious drawback that it was too heavy and created the overloading problem. Now when I sent the rotator to my friend he has scrapped it because it has too great a defect in it for it to be worth repairing and when he comes he is bringing a more powerful rotator which he recommends. I have taken down all the too thick cable which created overloading and replaced it with new thin cable, so I am now waiting for my friend to come as soon as possible with all we need when everything will go up as planned. I have only got 3 aerials on the mast until the 4 new aerials come. The VHF masthead will be taken down when the two new amplifiers come - one UHF and one UHF (sic).
When my friend and I have finished putting all the new things on the mast I expect on VHF to get daily 17 to 23 stations (7x I got 9 VHF stations 7 years ago) which will be situated in the British Isles and Ireland, On UHF I shall get all I get at present louder and extra stations besides because I shall have a new Masthead UHF amplifier working which will be extra to the 1 set amplifier I am using at present. With everything done outside I have my EKCO Continental set which at present needs some repairs doing to it - some new valves I think and perhaps a little else to be done and then it will go I think. I have no VHF aerial to test out reception on the VHF side of the set but one night I got Reception well on both VHF anand UHF by using some aerial other than VHF and reception was very good. There is an intermittent fault on UHF but with good VHF and UHF aerials and new valves I think my friend will soon have the set. When the set goes a lot of continentals will come including Swedish stations. My friend received an Indian Satellite some time ago - this station was broadcasting 200.000 miles away above Africa in Outer Space and he received it loud and clear. My set other than the Ekco set is a Super Set, very selective and I have received stations like Grampian TV and Scottish TY (sic), Channel Islands, Westward TV, and other long distance stations which no other set I've had. It is not a rented set, I gave £50 for it. To receive Outer Space you need to have your set modified to some extent because some satellites broadcast at too low a frequency for you to receive them. I shall see what my friend says about doing some Modification to my best set for the time when Outer SPACE begins to be inhabited. Reception becomes world wide through satellites.
Best wishes to all. Ron

There is a paragraph devoted to him in Jo Gosney's book "Farnborough Past" (Phillimore 2001 ISBN 1 86077 186 6):
" Another early trader in Lynchford Road was Mr. Arthur TURNER, who started his business as a general dealer and furniture maker in 1872. This soon expanded, as indicated by his entry in the 1889 edition of Kelly's Directory which reads, 'Turnerer, Arthur, timber merchant, builder, undertaker, monumental mason, ironmonger, wholesale oil & colour merchant, cabinet maker, furniture dealer, china, glass & earthenware dealer and general stores, Lynchford Road, North Camp'. His premises were on the corner of Peabody Road where the family business remained for nearly a century" (pages 83-85).

He died at Lynchford Road, Farnborough, Hampshire, on 8 April 1913. He was described as a 62 year old general furnisher and undertaker. His son Harry TURNER of Lynchford Road, Farnborough, was present when he died and informed the Registrar.
(GRO June Q 1913 Harley W. 2c 222)

His death was reported in Sheldrake's Aldershot Military Gazette on 11 and 18 April 1913:
"Death of Mr. A. TURNER
After a protracted period of illness the death of Mr. Arthur TURNER, of Lynchford Road, has to be recorded. The deceased gentleman, who has resided in Farnborough for many years, passed away in the early hours of Tuesday, and by his death Farnborough has lost one of its earliest inhabitants and traders. To many he will be especially remembered as the father of the well known football player, Archie TURNER, and in his early days when football had been but little thought of, or encouragraged as a popular pastime, he himself had made a name as a bowler in the cricket field. There are those in Farnborough who today can recall his service in this direction, and Mr. J. YEOMAN tells of a time when his own father declared that the d deceased was the best underhand trundler he had ever stood to a wicket against. To the early Aldershot school of cricketers his prowess in the field was also well known. Mr. TURNER was, it is interesting to recall, apprenticed to Mr. E. FIFINCHCH, the head of the firm of Messrs. Finch and Sons, of Aldershot, and afterwards commenced business in the undertaking line in Aldershot with the late Mr. HUGHES, the builder. But like others who have endeavoured to found a business of this kind in the town, the returns did not warrant a continuance of the business, and Mr. TURNER parted with Mr. HUGHES, and eventually he started at Farnborough in connection with a general ironmonger's establishment. The death of his wife some few years ago came as a great shock to the deceased, and from that blow he had never really recovered. Many of our Farnborough readers will learn with feelings of regret of the passing of this old resident, concerning whom many an interesting story might be told."

"Funeral of Mr. A. TURNER
The funeral of the late Mr. Arthur TURNER, whose death at the age of 62 years was recorded in our last issue, took place on Friday afternoon, the service at St. Mark's Church being conducted by the Vicar (the Rev. Basil S. PHILLIPS), whilst at the cemetery the officiating clergyman was the Rev. Mr. COULSON. There were many manifestations of sympathy, the service in the church being of a particularly impressive character. the mourners included Mr. and Mrs. A. TURNER, Mr. and Mrs. H.

(RG12/954/74/15)

According to an e-mail from Tony Spencer on 14 December 2001, Arthur D. TURNER was born at Farnborough, Hampshire, in 1877. The following information is from Mr. Spencer:
He played for Aldershot North End in 1892-1894.
He had football trials with Brentford and Reading in his position of outside right. In 1899 he was transferred from Camberley St. Michael's to Southampton FC where he made his debut in an away game against Millwall on 14 October 1899. He played in a Southern League Representative XI on 26 February 1900, in a match against the Amateurs of the South held at Queens Club, West Kensington, London, to raise money for the South African War Fund. He scored a goal in the 7-2 victory. Only a week later, on 7 March 1900, he was called up for an England trial held at Crystal Palace. This trial was billed as the South vs the North and ended in a 4-4 draw. Ten days later he was in Lansdowne Road, Dublin, earning his first cap. He gained his second England cap against Ireland at The Dell, Southampton, in 1901. He is believed to have been the first Hampshire born player to represent England. Southampton FC were Southern League champions in 1901, and he appeared for the losing side in the FA Cup finals in 1900 and 1902.

According to Southampton FC's historian Gary Chalk, Arthur TURNER's debut was against Arsenal on 11 October 1899.

The pick of Southampton's signings in the summer of 1899 was not an established League star, but Archie TURNER of Camberley St. Michaels. "Recommended to Southampton by a former Echo journalist who had moved to the Aldershot area, TURNER's uniqueness (until he was joined by Harrison) as the only Hampshire man to play for a side full of northerners and Scots has already been touched upon. He was also the first professional from the county to be capped by England".
('Full-Time at The Dell' by Dave Juson and David Bull, page 61, and 'Match of the Millenium' edited by David Bull and Bob Brunskell, page 26)

He is plainly visible in the group photograph taken circa 1899 and published in Dave Juson's 'Saints v. Pompey', page 10.

The 1900 FA Cup Final was an unmitigated disaster for Saints. Losing 4-0 to Bury at Crystal Palace on 21 April was undoubtedly a humbling result. "The Saints were, undoubtedly, the more cultured and talented side...... three Saints' players had represented England that season: centre-half Arthur CHADWICK, Jack ROBINSON, the most highly regarded goalkeeper in the country; and young left-winger, Arthur TURNER, the only Hampshire man in the Southampton side".
('Full-Time at The Dell', page 63, and 'Match of the Millenium', page 24)

The photograph of A. TURNER, outside right, appeared on the front of the Official Team Card for the match between Southampton and Watford on Saturday 8 December 1900.

Three Southampton players, Jack ROBINSON, C.B. FRY and Arthur TURNER, represented England against Ireland at The Dell on 9 March 1901. England won 3-0, despite TURNER leaving the field injured after 20 minutes.
(source: 'Full-Time at The Dell' by Dave Juson and David Bull, page 64)

The 1901 census was taken on 31 March:
Arthur TURNER, head, aged 50, born in London;
*Arthur TURNER, son, aged 24, professional footballer, born at Farnborough;
Anne TURNER, daughter, aged 22, born at Farnborough;
Kate TURNER, daughter, aged 20, born Farnborough;
Harry TURNER, son, aged 18, Ironmonger's assistant, born at Farnborough.
(RG13/1103/112/20).

On 22 December 1901 Arthur TURNER was suspended for 7 days for misconduct on the field. Perhaps he appealed and won because in a Southern League match against Northampton played on 28 December 1901 (and which Southampton won 11-0) the team included Arthur TURNER from Farnborough. "Then TURNER, who was tormenting the visiting defenders, added the fourth goal, an excellently-timed shot from close in on the right".
(Gary Chalk's research In Southampton Football Club's minutes and 'Match of the Millenium' edited by David Bull and Bob Brunskell, page 26)

A report of the FA Cup First Round Second Replay on 3 February 1902 against Tottenham Hotspur which Southampton won 2-0 shows that Archie TURNER "screwed in a tricky shot".
('Match of the Millenium', page 28)

He played in the FA Cup Final Replay against Sheffield United at Crystal Palace on 26 April 1902. Southampton lost 1-2 in "one of the best finals for some years" according to The Times. There are photographs of Arthur TURNER on pages 30 and 33.
('Match of the Millenium')

He was, apparently, the proof that the south could produce talented footballers. He gained two England caps during his two seasons at The Dell, before heading for Derby County in May 1902 for the 1902-1903 season, playing twenty one times and scoring once.
(Tony Spencer and 'Full-Time at The Dell' by Dave Juson and David Bull, page 68)

According to Douglas Hamming's 'An English Football Internationalists' Who's Who' in 1903 he was 5ft. 8 ins. tall and weighed 11st. 10lbs.
Lamming writes further: "Outside-right very much the opportunist type. He would pounce on the slimmest of chances eventually parting with the ball to the most advantageously placed colleague. Left the first-class game early - when only 28 - and returned to his native Farnborough, there joining his father's business."
(Hutton Press, 1990)

In January 1903 he signed for Newcastle United and played thirteen times, scoring once. Newcastle United was the source of the photograph of ARKIE in the famous Magpie black and white stripes.

In February 1904 he was transferred to Tottenham Hotspur for �150, although a correspondent for Tottenham Hotspur claimed that only �100 was paid on 26 January 1904, and they noted that Newcastle had paid Derby what was then the huge sum of �350 the previous season. While at Tottenham, he was loaned to Bristol City to play one match for them (source: "Bristol City the Complete Record" by Wood and Crabtree).

At the end of the 1903-1904 season he returned to Southampton before retiring from professional football at the end of the 1904-1905 season. He had made a total of seventy-eight Southern League appearances for the Saints, scoring 24 goals, and twenty FA Cup appearances scoring six goals.

He returned to his home town of Farnborough. He married Edith DORRITTY at Hartley Wintney Register Office on 14 April 1904. He was described as a 27 year old bachelor, a football player, of Lynchford Road, Farnborough, Hampshire, and son of ironmonger Arthur TURNER. Edith was a 20 year spinster from 84 Longley Street, Newcastle on Tyne, daughter of Thomas DORRITTY, a deceased coachman. Witnesses were Annie TURNER (his sister) and Ethelbert BROWNE (his sister Annie's future husband)
(GRO June Q 1904 Hartley W. 2c 445)

He was back playing for Southampton by 7 September 1904 when he was in the team that beat Portsmouth 2-0. He is mentioned again in a report of the game between Southampton and Portsmouth on 25 March 1905: "With six minutes gone, HARRISON released TURNER, who 'planted the leather well in the goal mouth, FRASER, timing splendidly, caught the ball on his cranium, and sent it past HARRIS'".
('Saints v Pompey' by Dave Juson)

His last appearance for Southampton was in the away game against Tottenham Hotspur on 21 April 1905.

His biography in the A-Z of Southampton Football Club reads as follows:
"The only Hampshire born player to appear in the Saints' FA Cup Final sides of 1900 and 1902, 'Archie' was also the first man from the county to be capped by England. A clever outside-right, he achieved the then unique distinction of receiving his international call-up in his debut season in first-class football. Archie's somewhat rapid rise to fame had the effect of making him a marked man with opposing full-backs but, despite being on the wrong side of some tough treatment, he contininued to produce some exciting wing play. A master of delivering accurate centres, if he had a fault it was a reluctance to shoot, preferring instead to find a colleague who perhaps would not be in such a promising position. Tempted to join Derby County by a sizable financial inducement and the opportunity of playing alongside the famous England inside-right Steve Bloomer, Archie failed to shine in such illustrious company, never added to his two international caps, and later regretted leaving The Dell. He returned in 1904 but his day had already passed and his early form had evaporated to such an extent that he quit the professional game a year later to join his father's business in Farnborough."
(From 'The Alphabet of the Saints: Complete Who's Who of Southampton Football Club' by Duncan Holley, Gary Chalk and Ted Bates)

"OUR PORTRAIT GALLERY: ARTHUR TURNER
Although Arthur TURNER has dropped out of first-class football he has not completely severed his connection with the game. He is playing regularly for South Farnborough, his first love, varying his position in the forward line according to circumstances. South Farnborough, by the way, must be a fine side, for in addition to the old international the players include Harry TURNER, YORKE, HARMSWORTH, and BELL, the latter of whom the Saints have just signed. I somehow think that Arthur wouould have had a longer career as a first-class player if he had not left the Saints. He never had a partner that could compare with Harry WOOD in his sojourn in the North, neither was he so comfortable with either Derby County or Newcastle United as he was at Southampton. Expectations that were destined not to be realised led him from the South. On the night that the Saints were returning from the Crystal Palace, having been beaten in the F.A. Cup final by Sheffield United, strong pressure was brought to bear on TURNER to induce him to remain with the team, but it was futile. I wonder whether he has ever wished that he had changed his mind!"
('Recorder' writing in the Football Echo 1906-1907)

Both Arkie and Harry TURNER were suspended for two months in November 1906 for playing for South Farnborough without being registered as professionals. At that time a professional had to obtain a permit to play as an amateur.
(source: Gary Chalk from Southampton FC Minutes)

The 1911 census of 1 Westfield Terrace, Park Road, Farnborough, Hampshire:
*Arthur TURNER, head, aged 34, shop assistant, furnishing and general shop, born at Farnborough, Hampshire;
Edith TURNER, wife, married 7 years, aged 27, born at Newcastle on Tyne, Northumberland;
Vera Dorrity TURNER, daughter, aged 6, at school, born at Farnborough, Hampshire;
Edith Caroline TURNER, daughter, aged 1, born at Farnborough, Hampshire.
(RG14/PN6256/RG78PN297/RD109/SD2/ED6/SN67)

He played football and cricket for the South Farnborough Athletic Club probably up to the end of 1913 when the club appears to have been made bankrupt. He lead them into the Southern League in 1909. In South Farnborough Athletic records he iiis described variously as 'Arthur' or 'Archie'. His brother Harry had followed him to Southampton FC and to South Farnborough Athletic. Apparently both brothers were prolific goal scorers and run-getters for the SFA club, and the results of the side were very dependent upon whether both brothers were playing or not.

His wife Edith died aged 38 on 13 May 1922.

In November 2000 Brenda May EDGOOSE (nee TURNER) said that her uncle Arkie did not die in the Great War but died of the TB he caught from his wife Edith. He lived in a shelter at the bottom of the garden at the back of the shop adjoining her father's ironmongery business. She remembered seeing him only once when her sister Barbara was about four years old. The shop next door was a post office and also belonged to the TURNER family.

He died at Lynchford Road, Farnborough, Hampshire, on 4 April 1925 at the age of 47. He was described as an ironmonger. His brother H. TURNER of 92 Peabody Road, Farnborough, informed the registrar.

An obituary appeared in the Aldershot News & Farnborough Chronicle on 10 April 1925 page 12 column 2:
"FAMOUS FOOTBALLER'S DEATH
at Farnborough
The death of Arthur, or, as he was much more popularly known, "Arkie" TURNER, at the age of 48 will cause very sincere regret amongst an extremely large circle of friends, for he was an athlete and a footballer who was universally held in great esteem by all who knew him.

His rise in the football world was meteoric. In 1892-3-4 he played for the old Aldershot North End football club, and afterwards for South Farnborough, in the old Aldershot Combination, and for the old Camberley St Michael's, in the now defunct East and West Surrey League, which was then the principal senior organisation in the district. It was whilst playing with St. Michael's that he came under the notice of the famous Southampton professional club, for whom, in the spring of 19000, he signed on, and in the following September, commenced with the Saints, who had then more than begun to make their name. "Arkie's" abilities as an outside-right were at once recognised and he automatically, from the first, became a member of the Saint's first string, and, with the famous Harry WOOD, the old International, formed the Southern League champions' right wing.

That season was a most eventful one for TURNER, for it so happened that Southampton were then playing on the top of their form, and they reached the final of the English [FA] Cup Competition, being the first southern club to do so for over 20 years.

During this season TURNER's form had more than once caught the eye of the International selectors, and it was therefore little wonder that he was selected to play at outside-right for England in the International match v Ireland. Thus, in one season, he was playing for the old Camberley St Michael's, and in the following had risen to International distinction, in addition to playing in the English Cup final - a distinction probably never before or since achieved by a young player in his first season as a pro.

In the following season TURNER was again selected to play for England v Ireland, but in that match he was unable to do himself justice, having but a day or two before buried his mother, a loss which occasioned him a good deal of grief, but he had previously accepted, and, decided, against the advice of many friends, to keep his engagement.

From Southampton "Arkie" went to Derby County, where for a while he partnered another great International player, Steve BLOOMER, then in his prime. From Derby "Arkie" went to Newcastle, and with the United had a season or two in the far northhh, playing in the First Division with much success. Eventually he came south again, and closed his professional career with Tottenham Hotspur, after which he returned to the business in which he was associated with his father, in Lynchford Road, North Camp.

In local cricket, "Arkie" was always in great demand, and for many years he was the most prominent player that the Frimley Cricket Club had. It was a great pleasure to local cricketers when he was given a place in the charity cricket match which was played on the RMC ground three years ago, and in which he was actually pleased to have been thought of by the promoters of the game, for inclusion in the side which played Bob RELF's "South of England" XI.

As a sportsman "Arkie" TURNER always played the game, both as an amateur and as a professional, and leaves behind a pleasant memory.

The funeral took place on Wednesday [8 April 1925] afternoon, the first part of the service being held in St Mark's Church, and was attended by a very large number of relatives and friends."

He was still remembered in 2002. The Official Matchday Programme for the game between England and Macedonia on Wednesday 16 October 2002 lists 'Saints and Lions' - Southampton Football Club players who starred for England. "Southampton winger Arthur 'Archie' TURNER made his England debut in the 2-0 victory over Ireland in March 1900 and was an FA Cup finalist in both 1900 and 1902, also featuring in Saints' 1900-1901 Southern League title success".
