Arthur W. Flower (1920-1986) was a cricket administrator.
Arthur Flower entered cricket administration with Marylebone Cricket Club, before joining Middlesex County Cricket Club in 1946, as Assistant Secretary. He was promoted to Secretary in 1964 and established the administration of the club from humble origins in a wooden converted tea hut to the major operation which exists today.
The Middlesex Committee and sub-committees met in the evening, variously at Lord's, Finchley and the City. Flower was known for his various qualities, such as his loyalty and equable temperament. He was a co-founder of the Seaxe Club, which was formed from one of his ideas.
He retired in 1980 and died from a stroke in Eastbourne in 1986.
