Sir Robert Keith Arbuthnot, 4th Baronet, KCB MVO
An enthusiastic member of the Motor Cycling Club, he kept his motorbike in his day cabin and engaged in long-distance endurance races. In 1908, he came third in the single-cylinder class of the Isle of Man TT and indeed were there any other TT competitors killed at the battle of Jutland?
Now I would hazard a guess that the name of this particular noble of the realm does not turn up to too many club pub quizzes or indeed is the subject of heated debate over a pint in the snug and indeed the cause and place of his death.
So how many other names long forgotten in the annals of the history of our sport should rightfully be the subject of our nostalgic recollection?
Answers, of course, on the back of a beer mat, and surreptitiously, slid into view of your companion quiz team member whose question it was.
