Portsmouth already possessed a modest amount of material related to Conan Doyle, who participated fully and enthusiastically however in the life of the town when he was in practice here during the 1880s and there are passing references to his activities in a number of local sources. It is not generally known that he was both a founder member and goalkeeper of the amatuer club that was the forerunner of the Portsmouth Football Club!
