The Alphabet of Sport

A is of mixed Chinese descent who has won the National Championships in a particular sport 13 times until 2010. A was linked with B (by the media) who fell from grace due to an infamous incident along with C. In 1997, C played for Ireland as an overseas player in the Benson and Hedges Cup and helped them to a 46-run win over Middlesex by scoring 94 not out and taking three wickets. C and D died in a similar fashion. The “D” award is given to a player who shows respect for the traditions of the game. It was first awarded to Byron Nelson, Arnold Palmer and E who’s nickname is “The Golden Bear”.

F shares his nickname with E. F had a chance to represent either G or H at a recent high profile tournament held in South Africa. H and I are owned by the same person. The parent company of I is J. K said “I feel like no player should wear 23. I'm starting a petition, and I've got to get everyone to sign it. Now, if I'm not going to wear No. 23, then nobody else should be able to wear it” as a show of respect to L (whose surname is J). K recently moved to another team amidst much controversy. M and N recently bought stake in the NFL team from the city of K’s present team. M and N have a total of 20 singles titles and 12 doubles titles together.

During the “Hit for Haiti” fund raiser match, O mocked N’s infamous meltdown saying “Did you really call a foot fault on me in a charity match?”. The “O” foundation is partly funded through the sale of blue wristbands inscribed "No Compromise", inspired by P’s yellow wristbands. P is friends with former US president, George W Bush. Bush apologised to the "Italian people" for the "unfortunate mistake" when a White House press briefing described Q as a "despised" leader. The club owned by Q have temporarily retired R’s jersey number and might restore it if either of R’s sons play professionally for the club.

R labeled the 2005 Champions League final as the worst moment of his career. S was eager to take over as manager of R’s opponents in that final but the job was given to T. S found himself causing controversy after commenting that the Muslim player U was lacking fitness and energy due to fasting during the month of Ramadan. U’s country was knocked out of the World Cup due to V’s controversial “save” which was reminiscent of a similar feat by W. W’s most famous critic played for a club in a famous city which has had players like Franz Beckenbauer and Carlos Alberto play for them.

The city boasts of arguably America’s greatest sporting franchisee X. Pitcher-turned-outfielder Y was the most talented of all the acquisitions from Z, and the outcome of the trade would haunt them for the next 86 years, a span in which the team did not win a single championship.

Phew!! Took exactly 2 hours 9 min to complete this round!!

A : Jwala Gutta O: Andy Roddick B : Mohd Azharuddin P: Lance Armstrong C: Hansie Cronje Q: Silvio Berlusconi D: Payne Stewart R: Paolo Maldini E: Jack Nicklaus S: Jose Mourinho F: Cameron White T: Rafael Benitez G: Victoria Bushrangers U: Sulley Muntari H: RCB V: Luis Suarez I: Force India W: Diego Maradona J: Jordan X: New York Yankees K: LeBron James Y: Babe Ruth L: Michael Jordan Z: Boston Red Sox M: Venus Williams N: Serena Williams
