==Rugby career==
Gamlin played as a full-back and was renowned for the strength of his tackling: an obituary in ''The Times'' in 1937 said that he "probably was the most powerful and effective tackler on record".〔 His ability to stop opponents as they ran towards him led to him being nicknamed "The Octopus": "It was no fancy that credited him with the feat of tackling two men more or less at the same time–one in either hand," ''The Times'' rugby correspondent wrote.〔 A later letter responding to this memoir identified an incident where Gamlin had indeed tackled two men at once in a match against the Welsh Barbarians team and also noted that his tackling technique was essentially "bear-hugs enveloping both man and ball".
