1998–99 Leicester City F.C. season

During the 1998–99 English football season, Leicester City competed in the FA Premier League (known as the FA Carling Premiership for sponsorship reasons).

Season summary

Leicester City repeated the previous season's 10th place in the Premiership, earning Martin O'Neill more credit for achieving strong finishes on a relatively limited budget. But the club's best chance of a UEFA Cup place was blown in late March when they lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the Worthington Cup final. At least City fans had the satisfaction of holding on to the highly rated O'Neill, who had seemed certain to desert the club for Leeds United early in the season.

Kit

Leicester's season's kit was manufactured by Fox Leisure and their shirt was sponsored by the British food snack manufacturer Walkers Crisps.

1958–59 in Israeli football

The 1958–59 season was the 11th season of competitive football in Israel and the 33rd season under the Israeli Football Association, established in 1928, during the British Mandate.

Review and Events

  * Following the abandonment of the previous season's Liga Alef, Bet and Gimel, the IFA council decided to cancel the previous season's leagues and to open the current season without promotion or relegation taking place.Beitar Jerusalem (who was leading Liga Alef), Hapoel Tiberias and Hapoel Ramla (leaders of the Liga Bet North and South divisions).
  * In Autumn 1958 the FA held a competition in celebration of the 10th anniversary of Israel. The competition was played in two tiers, Hapoel Haifa winning the competition for Liga Leumit clubs (along with the top 4 clubs from Liga Alef),while Hapoel Tiberias won the competition for Liga Alef and Liga Bet clubs.
  * For the first time, the FA decided to establish a fifth tier in its league system. The fifth tier, which was officially called "Additional Liga Gimel", but was known as Liga Dalet, was open for clubs which registered to the FA during the summer and couldn't be added to 1958–59 Liga Gimel.
  * In January 1959 the FA decided to expand At the end of the season, Liga Alef (second tier) was expanded from 12 teams to 14 teams and Liga Bet (third tier) was expanded from 24 teams (in two divisions) to 64 teams (in four divisions). This meant that while two teams relegated from Liga Alef, four promoted from Liga Bet (one of which is Hapoel Tiberias, whose place in Liga Alef was guaranteed), and that no clubs were relegated from Liga Bet and 42 club were promoted from Liga Gimel, which included the 12 league leaders from 1957–58 Liga Gimel at the time the season was stopped.
  * The national team took a brief tour of Poland in June 1959, playing one international match and one unofficial match. Israel was beaten 2–7 in the international match, which was labelled in Israel as the "Wrocław Shame".Łódź and Tel Aviv ended with a 1–1 draw.

1996 International Formula 3000 Championship

The 1996 British Formula Two Championship was the seventh season of the British Formula 3000 Championship. The championship was dominated by the Super Nova car of Gareth Rees, the former Marlboro Masters F3 winner who competed in International Formula 3000 the previous year. He won six races and clinched the title with two rounds to go.

Rees started the season in style, winning the first 5 races, but stumbled at Donington when Sascha Maassen took his only victory of the year. Werner Lupberger won the following round as Rees retired, but Gareth won the Silverstone round to tie up the championship. Luiz Garcia Jr. won the remaining two rounds after battling with Lupberger and Gonzalo Rodriguez, securing second in the standings. Lupberger ended up third, one place ahead of Rodriguez. British Formula Renault champion David Cook raced twice in Rees' absence, while future International F3000 star Jason Watt made his F3000 debut for Fred Goddard Racing in the final round. Ex-Andrea Moda F1 non-qualifier Perry McCarthy made a single seater return with DKS Racing. The future boss of International F3000 team Arden, Christian Horner, finished fifth overall after half a season with veteran team Madgwick International. Sarah Kavanagh, future Formula Nippon and BOSS Formula 1 driver, raced on a couple of occasions in a Sainsbury's and Parmalat backed Fred Goddard Racing entry.

Several talented drivers entered British F2 in 1996, but at times grids had declined to just five cars, the smallest in the series' history, and teams withdrew their support. British F2 was finally dead.
