first time in their history. Lambert continued to play for Arsenal over the next few years, scoring regularly; his five goals in a 9–2 defeat of Sheffield United remains the most ever scored by an Arsenal player in a single home match. He helped Arsenal reach a third FA Cup finalthey lost 2–1 to Newcastle United in 1931–32and won a second League title in 1932–33, contributing 14 goals in just 12 matches. By now Lambert was over 30 and only a bit-part player. Ernie Coleman had led the line through most of 1932–33, and the signing of Jimmy Dunne in September 1933 forced Lambert out of the side. He played his last game on 13 September against West Bromwich Albion, and in October he was sold to Fulham. In all he scored 109 goals in 161 games for the Gunners, and equalled Jimmy Brain's record of 12 hat-tricks for the club. Lambert played for two seasons for Fulham. Coaching career He next moved on to Southern League club Margate, who at the time were Arsenal's "nursery" club; he chose Margate because the club were happy for him to take coaching courses as well as playing. In January 1936, after Margate's manager resigned, Lambert took over as player-manager until the end of the season; he continued in post until returning to Arsenal in 1938 as coach of the club's "A" team. Death He died at the age of 38, killed in a car accident in Enfield, Middlesex, on 7 December 1940.
