Going back a bit Dennis Compton must be one of the most successful multi sporters.  Scored almost 6000 test runs for England and was a league and FA Cup winning winger for Arsenal.

 

His brother Leslie played both sports.

Chris Balderstone played for England in 2 test matches. He had an excellent County Cricket career principally for Leicestershire.

He has since become a top umpire. Martin Bodenham was an ex EPL referee and is now a county championship umpire.

Steve Bucknor was a former ICC umpire and FIFA referee.

I might be wrong but I'm sure that the aforementioned Harry Johnson changed his name to Grant when playing cricket. Kevin Moran of Man United also played for Dublin at Gaelic Football - they were effectively the Man U of GAA.  He was forced to make a choice and, perhaps reasonably, chose against the non-amateur option.
