Xās first tour to India was in 1976, a tour during
which the visitorsā were unhappy with the
umpiring throughout. In the final Test, X
frustratingly flung a bail at the umpire after
Anshuman Gaekwad wasn't ruled out hit-
wicket. To make things worse, the heat and
humidity contributed to him falling violently ill
ten minutes into the game, and kept him off
the field for a day and a half. He swore that he
would never return to the subcontinent. He
kept his word and even did not play the 87
World Cup. But X did come back in 1988 in
pursuit of a record, and although he achieved
the record within 18 minutes of the first match,
he and his teammates fell to a stomach bug on
the restday of the first Test. Who is X?

According to an NBC executive Dick Ebersol,
this iconic Olympic moment almost didnāt
happen. According to Ebersol, Billy Payne, the
head of the organising committee of the event
wanted a hometown hero to perform the act.
Ebersol argued that although Payneās choice
had an Olympic bronze to his name, he had
fathered five illegitimate kids and was no pre-
eminent Olympic figure. Ebersol then went on
to put propose the name who would eventually
get the nod. Payne argued that the perception
of him was that of a ādraft dodger.ā
It was only after four months of lobbying that
Ebersol had his guy and the world of sport its
iconic moment.

Pictured alongside Oscar Wilde (on the left) is
one of his lovers, Lord Alfred Douglas. Upon
learning of his sonās relationship with the
famous author, Alfred Douglasā father publicly
accused the author of posing as a sodomite.
Wilde, in turn, sued him for libel.
Douglasā father is a gent who is mistaken to be
a creator of something that was actually
instituted by a John Graham Chambers. It was
the blue blood running through Douglasā
fathers veins that has been the cause of this
confusion. Who was Alfred Douglasā father?

A couple of weeks prior to Chileās playoff against the Soviet
Union for the 1974 World Cup, Pinochet staged a coup
against the incumbent Marxist government and came to
power. In doing so, he cut off relations with communist
states like the Soviet, thereby jeopardizing the staging of
the game. The team eventually managed to fly out 10 days
before the game was scheduled in Moscow. The journey
was long and arduous and included stops at Argentina,
Brazil, Panama, Guatemala, Mexico, France, Switzerland
and Germany before finally reaching Moscow.
In Switzerland, the team played a friendly against
Neuchatel Xamax in a warm-up game which they won 1-0.
Chileās captain on that day was a Leonardo Veliz. In an
interview with the Guardian, Veliz describes being put up in
one of their opponentsā directorās houses. He describes the
director as friendly, charming man who was gracious
enough to put up the entire team in his mansion equipped
with a swimming pool, four poster beds and a wine cellar.
Who was this friendly, charming man?
