I haven't cracked this one yet — but the brilliant team at Fifteensquared have:

Triple definition. Doctor, as a verb = cook, as in “cook the books” = to falsify; chef = someone who prepares food; or Captain James Cook who travelled to Australia and New Zealand in the 18th century. The last of these could also be Alastair Cook, former England cricket captain, so fans of the game might argue it’s a quadruple definition.
