Ritual Souvenirs- July 19th 2010

X is a long-time ritual well established in its sport and behind it are tales, often personal, speaking to a player's standing in the game or marking a chapter in his career. It is believed to have originated when France, after beating England in 1931, were so ecstatic that they initiated a request for X. X sometimes results in souvenirs in the hands of former players that can fetch top money at auctions.

Identify X.
