Paul del Rio was a Venezuelan sculptor and painter. He combined modernism, cubism and surrealism to create enigmatic paintings that are usually a social commentary on the harshness of modern urban life for ordinary people, and their longing for a different life. It was not as an artist however, but as a revolutionary that he first gained fame. What is it that he did that gained him notoriety in the footballing world?

X was a FIFA referee in a World Cup qualifier between El Salvador and the Netherlands Antilles in 1988. Shortly after the game, FIFA decided to lower the age limit for referees to 45 thereby rendering X ineligible to continue as a ref. This prompted him to turn to a profession for which he is better known. X?

During the 2010 Football World Cup, X described the mass following of football as an impediment to political change. He wrote in The Guardian, "for the most part football these days is the opium of the people, not to speak of their crack cocaine. Its icon is the impeccably Tory, slavishly conformist Beckham." X: "Nobody serious about political change can shirk the fact that the game has to be abolished. And any political outfit that tried it on would have about as much chance of power as the chief executive of BP has in taking over from Oprah Winfrey."

X is the name given to the world’s oldest sports and physical societies. It was created in 1923. The name given to the society was supposed to mean "Power in Motion" from Greek. The name of the society also became well-known internationally through many clubs in various sports, initially created under the auspices of the X society.

X was a promising player in his youth and joined up with Real Madrid at 13. He played for the club at several youth levels, but injuries hampered his chances and, after missing the majority of the 1985-86 season with Segunda B side Linares CF, he retired at the age of 26. Having already taken on coaching duties with Linares, he returned to Real Madrid to join the coaching staff and, for the 1986-87 campaign, took charge of Castilla B - later renamed the Under-18 B side. Titles swiftly followed, and he was promoted repeatedly until eventually finding himself working alongside Vicente del Bosque with the senior side in 1994. X?

Upton Park Football Club were an amateur football club from Upton Park, London in the late 19th and early 20th century, now defunct. They were one of the fifteen teams to have played in the inaugural FA Cup. Why are they embedded in footballing history?

The story of one of the greatest football rivalries in the world begins with a group of Europeans who would later become known as the ‘betrayers’. The rebel members split from Corinthians to create a sports club for Italians, known as Palestra Italia, and later just simply Palestra. As the years passed honours and fans were split between the two great football clubs leading to one of the most intense rivalries in club football today.

The close of the 1970 English first division saw a number of violent incidents in football. As a result of some fans throwing knives into the away section, the FA banned Manchester United from playing their first two home games of the season at Old Trafford. Something, quite unimaginable now happened due to this. What?

Isaac X was born on April 24, 1853 in Strood, in the county of Kent, in the South East of England. He was born to Joseph X and Mary Goodger, he had an adventurous spirit and a passion for sporting activity. He was a teacher by profession and founded the Colegio Comercial Anglicano Argentino. Why does he figure in this quiz?

The rivalry between the two top X clubs can be traced back to some social, cultural and regional differences. A founded in 1908, comes from the center of Y and was considered the classic representative of the old high class society of the X capital. On the other hand, B was founded in 1925 and comes from Piraeus, Y's port, thus attracting supporters from the surrounding working class area. Both cities have played a major role in X’s history since classical antiquity; Y was regarded as the cradle of the ancient X civilization, taking advantage of Piraeus' strategic posistion and forming a unified region with the latter. During the 20th century, Y experienced a demographic explosion and territorial expansion coming to enclose all its suburbs, including Piraeus, in a large urban area. These class differences between the people in the homelands of the two clubs offered further reasons for the animosity between their fans. B's early success provided a way for the people of Piraeus to express their contempt for the wealthier classes, by which A was heavily supported. Furthermore, B attracted fans from all over X who believed themselves to be victims of social and political unfairness. However, this kind of clash was much more pronounced in the past, as the class differences between the fan bases have faded out and the social gap that once separated the two sides has closed over the years. Nowadays, both clubs boast fan bases that represent all the social classes. A and B?

X is a Scottish footballer who plays as a centre back for Heart of Midlothian . X made football transfer history when he was the first player to invoke a loophole in Article 17 of new transfer regulations FIFA had adopted to bring football's transfer system into line with EU law. This enabled him to cancel his contract with Hearts in the third year of a four-year deal. His move has been seen as a revolutionary step in player rights. Give X..

An unapologetic supporter of Benito Mussolini, X attracted controversy when he repeatedly made straight-arm salutes after returning to hometown club Lazio in 2004. He had done little to keep his views under wraps: asked to describe Mussolini on Italian TV show Iene, he replied that he was "one of the greatest men Italians have ever had".Brought up as a Lazio ultra, he famously performed the salute during a Rome derby in 2005 in front of Mussolini's granddaughter, Alessandra, who vowed to write him a thank-you note.He sought to play down the controversy. "I am a fascist, not a racist," he said. "I give the straight arm salute because it is a salute from a camerata to camerati. The salute is aimed at my people. With the straight arm, I don't want to incite violence and certainly not racial hatred." Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi defended X, saying he is a "good lad" and the salute "did not have any significance". X?

The Interpol started the inquiry following complaints of alleged financial cheating and breach of promise in various deals that X had entered into in Spain and New Zealand through his firm Western Gulf Advisory. X did not come from a rich background contrary to his claims. He owned a house measuring only 80 square-yards in the Old City. Sources informed this correspondent that the Interpol official visited X's house at Darulshifa and spoke to his brother and later met Mr Mir Hyder Ali.When contacted, Mr Hyder Ali said that the Interpol official had asked him whether he had lodged any complaint against X.“I informed the officer that I had sent complaints to the police and the Chief Justice of the AP High Court against X but I don’t know whether those complaints were registered or not,” he said.The Interpol official had a photocopy of X’s Indian passport, Mr Hyder Ali said, adding, “After talking to me he visited Mr Zaidi who is also a victim of X.”

X once told a newspaper: "I try to put 30 hours work into every day. I never allow them [the players] to attend banquets, even after their greatest triumphs. They are professionals and they must always be at their best. There is no magic about success, you work at it. You must never be satisfied with success. He who stops to sit on a pedestal can they only move one way - downwards. I must always continue to go upwards."However, in public at least, he appeared to admit that his strict, uncompromising approach was winning him few fans across Europe, even if it was the perfect way to bring the best out of his team.The inner workings of X was later exposed to the general public when his widow, Fiora Gandolfi, published his notebooks in a collection named 'Tacalabala' ('Attack the Ball') - a phrase which was one of X's favourites and encapsulated his determination to restrict space and hassle opponents. The publication painted a picture of a man obsessed with detail, who would invoke mantras such as "He who plays for himself plays for the opposition. He who plays for the team plays for himself."Facchetti later said: "I think his greatest quality was in how he prepared for a game - not just athletically and technically but also mentally. He was a psychologist and knew how to motivate players as much as possible. He liked to say things which could upset the opponents, but he was also a great worker and motivated players to give the best of their abilities. He had contacts around the world who would give him a report on opponents. When we played overseas he told us how tall each player was, his hairstyle and even the colour of his eyes - that is how professional he was about his work." X?

Following the 1973–74 season, when X and Leeds won their second championship in the first division, he was widely acknowledged to be one of the most successful managers in the country and was considered a leading candidate to manage the England national team. X accepted the manager's job after Joe Mercer had turned it down because of his advanced years. In 1977, while still under contract to the English FA, he quit as England's manager to become coach to the United Arab Emirates. This was the first time a manager of England had resigned from the position. The circumstances of X's departure immediately provoked controversy. X snubbed the FA by selling news of his resignation to the Daily Mail, where the story broke before the FA had received his letter of resignation.

Morten Per Olsen is a Danish manager and former football player. He has been the head coach of the Danish national team since 2000, guiding Denmark to the 2002 FIFA World Cup, 2004 European Championship and 2010 FIFA World Cup. In his active career, Olsen predominantly played as a defensive midfielder and libero. He played professionally in Belgium and Germany, and won the 1983 UEFA Cup and three Belgian First Division championships with RSC Anderlecht. Which unique distinction does he hold?

The early peak of X's long and successful career was at age 21 in 1972 as part of the winning European Championship team. This was followed two years later with victory as a member of the World Cup squad. He scored the first goal for his side in the final of that tournament. He, along with Pele, Zidane and Vava, is the only player to have scored in two different World Cup finals. By many of the older and more traditional football fans in his country he was decried for his "revolutionary" attitude and his tendency for voicing strong opinions on political and social issues. Before the 1982 World Cup former "leftist" X caused a major uproar in his country when he accepted an offer by a cosmetics company to pay him the – what many regarded at that time as a "scandalously high" – sum of 150,000 Deutsche Mark if he shaved off his fluffy full beard, used their fragrance and advertised for the company.
