Tom Wills invested Australian Rules Football (AFL is a leage, not a sport - the sport is Australian Rules) to keep cricketers fit during winter.

A letter by Tom Wills was published in Bell's Life in Victoria & Sporting Chronicle on 10 July 1858, calling for a "foot-ball club," or some other "athletic game," with a "code of laws" to keep cricketers fit during winter.
