The X Club was a social club that is famous for its organisation of
18th century Y matches. By the late 1770s it was the foremost Y club
in England.The origin of the club, based near X in rural Hampshire, is
unclear but it had certainly been founded by 1768.Its basis was a
local parish Y team that was in existence before 1750 and achieved
prominence in 1756 when it played a series of three matches versus
Dartford, which had itself been a major club for at least 30 years. At
this time, the parish team was sometimes referred to as "Squire
Land's Club", after Squire Thomas Land who was apparently the
main organiser of Y teams in the village before the foundation of the
club proper.From the mid-1760s, X's stature grew till by the late
1770s it was the foremost Y club in England. In spite of its relative
remoteness, it had developed into a private club of noblemen and
country gentry, for whom one of Y's attractions was the opportunity it
offered for betting. Although some of these occasionally played in
matches, professional players were mainly employed.The club
produced several famous players including John Small, Thomas
Brett, Richard Nyren, David Harris, Tom Taylor, Billy Beldham and
Tom Walker.

13 X, Honored Master of Sports of the USSR, ten-time finswimming World
Record-breaker, is better known in the former USSR for one particular
day of his life, September 16, 1976. On that day, training with his
brother Kamo, also a finswimmer, by running alongside the Yerevan
Lake, X had just completed his usual distance of 20 km (12 miles) when
he heard the sound of the crash and saw the sinking trolleybus which
had gone out of control and fallen from the dam wall.
The trolleybus lay at the bottom of the reservoir some 25 meters (80 ft)
off the shore at a depth of 10 meters. X swam to it and, under
conditions of almost zero visibility due to the silt rising from the bottom,
broke the back window with his legs. The trolleybus was crowded, it
carried 92 passengers and X knew he had little time, spending some 30
to 35 seconds for each person he saved.
X managed to rescue 20 people, but this was the end of his sports
career: the combined effect of cold water and the multiple wounds he
received, left him lying unconscious for 45 days, with subsequent lung
complications preventing him from continuing his sports career.

X is an Indian racing driver and motorsport administrator. He is the
current President of the now derecognized Motorsports Association
of India, Vice President of the FIA for Sport, chief steward of the
World Rally Championship and a member of the World Motor Sport
Council.
In 1980 X founded the Himalayan Rally Association and started the
Himalayan Rally, run through the world's highest mountains in the
north of India. He founded the Indian Automotive Racing Club as he
was unhappy with the way that motorsport was organised in India,
and then helped in the forming of the Federation of Motor Sport
Clubs of India (FMSCI). He became President of the FMSCI in
1984.
In 1993, was elected to the World Motor Sport Council however in
1999 the FMSCI decided that it no longer wanted X to be their
representative to the FIA. This led to X forming the Motorsports
Association of India (MAI) in opposition to the FMSCI. X is an ally of
FIA President Max Mosley, and assisted Mosley in gaining votes
from the Asian members of the FIA throughout the 1990s.
