    I'm assuming you're not talking football here...

    Australian Squash/Racquetball/Hockey player Heather McKay?

    Correct - I'm not talking football. A sport played with a ball. (This rules out Nick Skelton). And he/she is/was English.

    His best days were in 2 decades. Also, I don't think billiards was an international game in the sense of representing one's country.
    I could be wrong on that aspect, and if so gives me a source for future questions!

    Nice idea. Jacklin played international golf in 60's 70's and 80's.
    But then in 2003 he was captain (& played) for 'The rest of the world' against the USA in the UBS cup. so, technically just about correct except...
    The UBS rules stipulated that 50% of each team had to be over 50, it's a bit of a contrivance, and I don't think the UBS Cup quite qualifies as an international tournament.
    It's not golf. Closer to home.

    Sorry - didn't mean to mislead. Not a golfer.

    Absolutely - thought a Yorkshireman would get it. 1899 to 1930.
    In passing, DB close (1949 - 1976) is pretty amazing for post war.
    Over to you
