Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
However, he lacked the quality of a John Snow or a Chris Old and was rendered ineffective on less helpful wickets. He was dropped from the England set-up after a poor Ashes series in 1975.
Arnold though thrived on the domestic circuit, capturing over 1100 wickets to go with 7 half-centuries with the bat lower down the order. After his playing career, Arnold served as a bowling coach for England.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Universally known as "Horse" because his initials were GG (Surrey's postwar teams seldom looked further than the obvious for a nickname), Geoff Arnold was a master in suitable conditions for seam bowling. A strongly built six-footer, his outswing moved late, often bounced high, and he could cut the ball in either direction off the seam. He had a sharp wit on and off the field; but this lugubrious mien was philosophical about his worst misfortunes, as when, in the Old Trafford Test against Australia in 1972, he had Keith Stackpole (twice) and Bruce Francis dropped in the slips off three successive balls. After retiring he has served a number of counties - and, occasionally, England - as a bowling coach.
