The person was described by the QM as a "professional sportsman".

Was he known for any kind of racing (foot racing, swimming, boat racing, auto racing, etc.), any kind of sport involving snow or ice, or any kind of sport involving weapons (swords, guns, archery, etc.)?
Yes

Born after 1885?

(Edit: changed to 1885)
Don't understand the edit but I'll err on the generous side. Born before 1885.

Yeah, I know. I was out of it. But at least we eliminsted some major sports.

Yes, fair. All variants of football eliminated.
