Arthur Conan Doyle practised more than 20 sports.
He dedicated a whole chapter on sport in his auto-biography : Memories and Adventures : 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.
