Q13.He was named after the American inventor Thomas Edison and was originally nicknamed Dico by his family. He did not receive the nickname "X" until his school days, when it is claimed he was given it because of his pronunciation of the name of his favorite player, local Vasco da Gama goalkeeper Bile, which he misspoke "x". He originally disliked the nickname, being suspended from school for punching the classmate that coined it, but the more he complained the more it stuck. In his autobiography, X stated he had no idea what the name means, nor did his old friends. Apart from the assertion that the name is derived from that of Bilé, the word has no known meaning, although it does resemble the Irish word Y, meaning X's field. Identify X??

Q14.Who are they?



Q15.In a radio interview , X said: "No one has single-handedly done more for the U.S. image than me. . . . When I won the world championship in '72, the U.S. had an image of a football country, a baseball country. No one thought of it as an intellectual country."
