He was part of the British City of London Police team which won two gold (1908 and 1920) and one silver medal (1912) in three consecutive tug of war competitions.[1] (There were no games in 1916 due to World War I.)

He also competed in wrestling, and took part in demonstration bouts around Europe and the United Kingdom.[1] In the 1908 Olympic Greco-Roman super heavyweight competition he was eliminated in the first round and in the freestyle heavyweight event he was eliminated in the quarter-finals.{{citation needed|date=May 2013}}

In May 2013, some of his medals, including the 1912 silver and 1920 gold, and family photographs, were shown on an episode of the BBC television programme by two of his great-nieces. They stated that the whereabouts of his 1908 gold medal are unknown.[1]
