There have been a few over the years. Probably the most famous is Denis Compton who played for Middlesex and played in 78 Tests, whilst he also played for Arsenal and won 12 (unofficial) wartime caps in football.
In 1950 he was a member of both the Middlesex team that won the County Championship and the Arsenal team that won the FA Cup - the only person to do so.
