Maxwell "Max" Woosnam (6 September 1892 ? 14 July 1965) was an English sportsman who is sometimes referred to as the 'Greatest British sportsman' in recognition of his achievements.

Among his achievements were winning an Olympic gold and silver in tennis at the 1920 Summer Olympics, winning the doubles at Wimbledon, making a century at Lord's Cricket Ground, captaining the British Davis Cup team, captaining Manchester City F.C. finishing ultimately runners-up for the Football League Championship in 1920?21 and captaining the England national football team.
He once defeated actor and film director Charlie Chaplin at table tennis, playing with a butter knife instead of a bat.
Besides being a pioneer for table tennis, he was very experienced at snooker, once achieving a maximum break of 147.
