[[Arthur Conan Doyle]] practised more than 20 sports.

He dedicated a whole chapter on sport in his auto-biography : [[Memories_and_Adventures#XXIV._SOME_RECOLLECTIONS_OF_SPORT|Memories and Adventures]] : [[Memories_and_Adventures#XXIV._SOME_RECOLLECTIONS_OF_SPORT|Some Recollections of Sport]], stating in particular : « ''I have never specialized, and have therefore been a second-rater in all things. I have made up for it by being an all-rounder, and have had, I dare say, as much fun out of sport as many an adept. It would be odd if a man could try as many games as I for so many years without having some interesting experiences or forming a few opinions which would bear recording and discussion.''
