3. Q-2.
X played association football and was first chosen to play under-14
football at age 12. He was chosen to play for Warwickshire. His football
career was marked by a number of injuries, causing him to remark later
in life, "Perhaps I was doomed when it came to football". In mid-1984, X
had a trial with Rangers, the club he supported as a boy. He seriously
injured his knee, smashing the cartilage during training. Ramsay
continued to train and play on the injured knee, tearing a cruciate
ligament during a squash game. He never fully recovered from the
double injury.
Now, X is well-known in a completely different field.

The Z is an annual sporting event between X and Y.
First contested in 1852, annually since 1859 except during major wars fought
by the United States, it is America's oldest collegiate athletic competition.
Originally done on Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire, it has since moved to
the Thames River, Connecticut. Although other locations for the race have
included the Connecticut River at Springfield, Massachusetts, and Lake
Quinsigamond at Worcester, Massachusetts, the Thames has hosted it on all
but 5 occasions since 1878 and both teams have erected permanent training
camps on the Thames at Gales Ferry for X and at Red Top for Y. It has been
exclusively between X and Y except for 1897 when it was held as part of a three
boat race with W on the Hudson River at Poughkeepsie, New York, where,
although it lost to W, X was deemed the winner of the Z.
