Used to play for Portsmouth under an assumed name AC Smith.
It's a 'no shit Sherlock' moment
I thought that was fairly well known - goalkeeper.
He‘s buried in the Church Yard at Minstead in the New Forest.
he and Dominic Cumberbatch are apparently 16th cousins.

A relative of mine, by marriage, has written the last two Sherlock Holmes novels (Moriarty and House of Silk).
That's quite a decent claim to fame! - that's not all he's written by a long chalk...

You can tell him I thought the House of Silk captured the Conan Doyle style excellently, and I must have read all of the Holmes stories at least half a dozen times.

I will pass it on. He’s married to my cousin, and very honoured to have been asked to write books for both Sherlock Holmes and James Bond!
