Question 1250: Jingo all the way

X is a shareholder of the football club Y (which is based in the town he was born) in an attempt to assist the club from debt. According to reports, X owns 10 percent shares and was also requested to hold the position of vice president of the club, which he turned down. Though, his uncle, who represented Spain in international football, became assistant coach of the main team of Y. Shortly after acquiring his share in Y, he slammed UEFA for alleged hypocrisy in banning Y from the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League for excessive debts. He claimed that if that was the criteria upon which UEFA was operating, then the European competition will only have 2 or 3 clubs as most of the other clubs have enormous debts too.

He is also a longtime supporter of the Spanish national team, and was one of only six people not connected to the team or the national federation allowed into the team's locker room after Spain won the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Identify X and Y. No half points.
