pos: John II of Portugal John II ( Portuguese : João II , -LSB- ʒuˈɐ̃w̃ -RSB- ; 3 March 1455 -- 25 October 1495 ) , the Perfect Prince ( o Príncipe Perfeito ) , was the king of Portugal and the Algarves in 1477/1481 -- 1495 .   He is known for re-establishing the power of the Portuguese throne , reinvigorating the Portuguese economy , and renewing his country 's exploration of Africa and the Orient .

neg: Joanna of Castile Joanna of Castile ( 6 November 1479 -- 12 April 1555 ) , called the Mad ( Juana la Loca ) , was queen of Castile from 1504 and of Aragon from 1516 . From the union of these two crowns modern Spain evolved . Joanna married Philip the Handsome on 20 October 1496 . Philip was crowned King of Castile in 1506 , initiating the rule of the Habsburgs in Spain . After Philip 's death that same year , Joanna was deemed mentally ill and was confined to a nunnery for the rest of her life . Though she remained the legal queen of Castile throughout this time , her father , Ferdinand II of Aragon , was regent until his death , when she inherited his kingdom as well . From 1517 , her son , Charles , ruled as king , while she nominally remained co-monarch .

neg: Battista Beccario Battista Beccario , also known as Baptista Beccharius ( name also sometimes given as `` Beccaria '' , `` Beccari '' or `` Bedrazio '' ) , was a 15th-century Genoese cartographer .   Virtually nothing is known of his life . Battista is probably a relative ( perhaps a son ? ) of an earlier Genoese cartographer , Francesco Beccario , responsible for a 1403 portolan map .   Battista Beccario is the author of two notable portolan charts :   1426 portolan chart , signed and dated , `` Baptista Becharius civis Janue composuit hanc cartam anno domini millex.o CCCC.XXX de mense novembris ad requisicionem et nomine ... '' ( rest illegible ) , 103.5 x 68 cm , held by the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich , Germany . ( Mapp.XXV ,1 y )  1435 portolan chart signed and dated as '' ... a becharius . Ciuis Janue composiut hanc ... anno domini . Millexio cccc.xxxv de ... jullij '' ( some portions unreadable ) , 89 x 65 cm , held by the Biblioteca Palatina in Parma , Italy . ( II ,21,1613 )   ( A third possible Battista Beccario map surfaced c. 1950 , albeit unsigned and tentatively dated c. 1426 . It is privately held . )   Both of the Beccario maps are smaller than the `` normal portolan '' , i.e. they omit the Black Sea and most of the east Mediterranean . The maps also barely touches Europe north of Flanders . They do , however , have an expansive Atlantic Ocean , riddled with islands .   In the 1426 Munich map , Beccario seems to derive many of the stylings of the Majorcan cartographic school , being the first Italian map replete with inland features Although it seems like a `` normal portolan '' , it covers an area a bit smaller than its predecessors , e.g. it omits most of northern Europe and the Baltics , and less of the west African coast . Among its novel features , Beccario depicts the winds and the Pole star on colored round disks on the edge of the map , a custom later widely adopted in portolan charts . The portolan 's signature is emblazoned with the royal arms of Castile-Leon , suggesting a Spanish patron .   Beccario 's 1435 Parma map is similar to the earlier in its range , but exhibits the traditional sparse Italian school style , nautical-focused , omitting most inland details and illustrations , with only a few cities depicted ( Genoa , Avignon , Santiago de Compostela , Tlemcen ) , the rest ( if noted ) reduced to labels .   In his 1426 map , Beccario labels what seems like the Madeira archipelago , recently ( re - ? ) discovered by the Portuguese in 1418 -- 20 , as the insulle fortunate santi brandany ( `` Fortunate Islands of Saint Brendan '' ) , blending the legendary Saint Brendan 's Island and the real islands of Madeira .   Prior to the discovery of the 1424 map of Zuane Pizzigano , Beccario 's 1435 Parma map was believed to be the first to depict the legendary Atlantic islands of Antillia , Satanazes ( Satanagio ) , Royllo and Tanmar , famously labelling the group as Insulle a nove repte ( read : repte = repertae , `` islands newly reported '' ) . The Antillia group does not appear in his earlier 1426 chart .

It is a land of dense vegetation and profound historic and cultural wealth . Its capital is the city of Porto . The region has 3,689,173 inhabitants according to the 2011 census , and its area is 21,278 km ² ( density of 173 inhabitants per square kilometre ) . It is one of five regions of Mainland Portugal ( NUTS II subdivisions ) . Northern Portugal is a culturally varied region , thus historical rivalries between different neighbouring cities and towns are common , unlike other Portuguese regions where every city and town is culturally very similar .

neg: Treaty of Zaragoza The Treaty of Zaragoza , or Treaty of Saragossa , also referred to as the Capitulation of Zaragoza , was a peace treaty between the Spanish Crown and Portugal , signed on 22 April 1529 by King John III and the Emperor Charles V , in the Aragonese city of Zaragoza . The treaty defined the areas of Castilian ( Spanish ) and Portuguese influence in Asia , in order to resolve the `` Moluccas issue '' , which had arisen because both kingdoms claimed the Moluccas islands for themselves , asserting that it was within their area of influence established by the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494 . The conflict began in 1520 , when expeditions of both kingdoms reached the Pacific Ocean , because no agreed meridian of longitude had been established in the orient .

neg: Portuguese inventions The Portuguese inventions are the inventions created by people born in Portugal ( continent or overseas ) or whose nationality is Portuguese . These inventions were created mainly during the age of Portuguese Discoveries , but as well , during modernity .   Relying on trade secret explains , in part , the difficulty often experienced by researchers in documenting Portuguese inventions , as many are not described in patent documents , or other technical documents . On the other hand , there are cases , like some types of swords , where the inventions themselves or the underlying documents were lost , having been destroyed , for example , during the French invasions . There are as well documentation and objects of Portuguese origin in private collections or museums outside of Portugal .

neg: List of governors of Portuguese India The government of Portuguese India started in 1505 , six years after the discovery of the sea route to India by Vasco da Gama , with the nomination of the first Viceroy Francisco de Almeida , then settled at Kochi . Until 1752 , the name `` India '' included all Portuguese possessions in the Indian Ocean , from southern Africa to Southeast Asia , governed - either by a Viceroy or Governor - from its headquarters , established in Goa since 1510 . In 1752 Portuguese Mozambique got its own government and in 1844 the Portuguese Government of India stopped administering the territory of Portuguese Macau , Solor and Portuguese Timor , seeing itself thus confined to a reduced territorial entity in Malabar : Goa , Daman , Diu , Dadra and Nagar Haveli . Portuguese control ceased in the last two enclaves in 1954 , and finally ceased in the remaining three pockets in 1961 , when they were occupied by the Republic of India ( although Portugal only recognized the occupation after the Carnation Revolution in 1974 ) . This ended four and a half centuries of Portuguese rule in parts -- thought tiny -- of India .   It may be noted that during the term of the monarchy , the title of the head of the Portuguese government in India ranged from `` Governor '' to `` Viceroy '' . The title of viceroy would only be assigned to members of the nobility ; It was formally terminated in 1774 , although it has later been given sporadically to be decisively ended after 1835 ) , as shown below .

neg: Velasco Sánchez Velasco or Blasco Sánchez ( floruit 1153 -- 1181 ) was an Iberian nobleman who held various political and military offices under Afonso I of Portugal , Alfonso VIII of Castile , and Ferdinand II of León . He held the high rank of count from at least May 1159 .   Velasco 's family hailed from Galicia . He was a son of Sancho Núñez and Sancha Enríquez . Sancho was a son of Nuño Velázquez and brother of Alfonso Núñez . Sancha was a daughter of Henry of Burgundy and Teresa Alfonso , a daughter of Alfonso VI of León . In December 1166 two Portuguese royal charters referred to Velasco as filius sororis eius , `` his sister 's son '' , him being the king of Portugal , Afonso I , son of Henry . Velasco married Urraca Viegas , daughter of Egas Moniz . She gave him one recorded son , Rodrigo .   Velasco was the court steward ( curiae dapifer ) of Afonso of Portugal in August 1161 . In that same year , just before going to war , and fearing that he might die without a chance to make a last confession , Velasco dictated his will , wherein he pledged the three villages he owned to three religious establishments : Barazas to the Hospitallers , Azarón to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre , and Coleo to the Cathedral of Santa María . This will ( which was not in any case final ) also gives indication of Velasco 's movable wealth . He later served as majordomo ( dapifer ) between March 1169 and July 1172 . In March 1171 he was the standard-bearer ( signifer ) of the infante Sancho . Late in 1172 he went into exile at the court of Alfonso of Castile , who made him the governor of Ávila in April 1173 . He was present at court from February 1173 until August 1174 . That same month he moved to the court of Ferdinand of León , where he stayed until June 1181 , perhaps until his death .   Ferdinand immediately invested him with the government of Extremadura as a fief ( tenencia ) of the crown . Extremadura was a frontier tenencia in the south of the kingdom . By January 1176 he was also governing the Limia , a Galician tenencia in the north of the kingdom . In August 1177 he was governing Cubillas and Medina del Campo and in October Monforte de Lemos . Between February 1178 to February 1180 he was the governor of the Bierzo ( and eventually Ulver ) , although his government may have been briefly interrupted by Alfonso Ramírez in July 1178 , when he was briefly in charge of Toroño . In September 1178 he was governing Ciudad Rodrigo . Coinciding with this he lost the government of Extremadura , but gained that of Salamanca ( until February 1179 ) . The last post Velasco got was Zamora , which he governed from July 1180 until his death . Among the lesser fiefs governed by Velasco on behalf of the crown of León were Toro ( March 1175 ) and Valdeorras ( August 1180 ) .

neg: House of Sousa The House of Sousa ( Casa de Sousa ) is a noble family of Portugal , descendants of the marriage of Martim Afonso Chichorro and Inês Lourenço de Sousa .   The House of Souza is one of the eldest and nobler houses of Portugal . Its origin starts with the Visigoth Kings and the name was first used in the 11th century , by Lord Egas Gomes de Sousa , heir to the house and to several royal lineages . There are three main lineages of this noble house , but we shall only focus on the one represented to left ( Sousa of Arronches ) .   The field of the shield is divided in four quarters ( quarterly or party per cross ) with the Royal Arms of Portugal in the first and fourth quarters , and the Ancient Arms of Sousa , a quartet of silver crescents ( Argent ) over a field of red ( Gules ) , in the second and third quarters . This grouping known as the Sousa of Arronches ( because of the title of Lords of Arronches ) , is still borne by many of the noble houses of Portugal , like the Dukes of Palmela .   The Head of the House of Sousa today is the Duke of Lafões . Some say that there is n't a single noble man ( or woman ) in Portugal that does not have the blood of the Sousas.The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Garcia Homem de Sousa , which was dated 1420 , christened at Funchal , Portugal , during the reign of King John I of Portugal . Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation . In England this was known as Poll Tax . Throughout the centuries , surnames in every country have continued to `` develop '' often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling . The House of Sousa played a significant role in the creation of the Portuguese Empire . Martim Afonso de Sousa was the first Governor of Brazil , Pedro Lopes de Sousa was the 1st Governor of Portuguese Ceylon and Thome de Sousa Arronches was a Captain of the Portuguese Navy in the Portuguese India Armadas .

neg: Philip IV of Spain Philip IV of Spain ( Felipe IV 8 April 1605 -- 17 September 1665 ) was King of Spain ( as Philip IV in Castille and Philip III in Aragon ) and Portugal as Philip III ( Filipe III ) . He ascended the thrones in 1621 and reigned in Spain until his death and in Portugal until 1640 . Philip is remembered for his patronage of the arts , including such artists as Diego Velázquez , and his rule over Spain during the challenging period of the Thirty Years ' War .   On the eve of his death in 1665 , the Spanish Empire had reached approximately 12.2 million square kilometers ( 4.7 million square miles ) in area but in other respects was in decline , a process to which Philip contributed with his inability to achieve successful domestic and military reform .

neg: Marquisate of Cenete The Marquisate of Cenete ( alternatively , of Zenete , El Cenete , or El Zenete ; marquesado del Cenete/Zenete ) is a noble title first granted in 1491 by Queen Isabel I of Castile to Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar y Mendoza , First Count del Cid .   The name refers to the Andalusian comarca of Zenete in the province of Granada . Zenete or Cenete may derive from the Arabic sened , meaning  the slope that constitutes one side of a mountain range , referring to the north side of the Sierra Nevada . Another possibility is that the name refers to the Zenata Berber tribes , which were highly respected in medeaval Spain for their horsemanship . Jinete , the Spanish word for horseman , is derived from this people . The Marquisate was promoted to grandeeship 15 May 1909 .   The current marquess is Mencía López-Becerra de Solé y de Casanova .   One of the young children besides the senior , a sixth child , of famous literary man Iñigo López de Mendoza , ( 1398 -- 1458 ) , was the Bishop of Calahorra and of Sigüenza since 1473 and later Cardinal of Toledo , the highest ecclesiastical distinction in Spain from a Pope , became to be known as Pedro González de Mendoza , ( 1428 -- 1495 ) , a.k.a. Cardinal and statesman Cardenal Mendoza . While being a Roman Catholic bishop at Calahorra and therefore upposed not to have a sexiual life leading to descendency , he became attached to Doña Mencia de Lemus , a Portuguese lady-in-waiting of the queen . She bore him two sons , Rodrigo , who was once selected in a list of candidates to be the husband of Lucrezia Borgia , one of the children fathered in Rome by the later Spanish Roman Catholic Pope Alexander VI , and Diego , who was the grandfather of the princess of Eboli of the reign of Philip II ( see Antonio Perez ) By Inés de Tovar , a lady of a Valladolid family , he had a third son ( Juan Hurtado de Mendoza y Tovar ) who afterwards emigrated to France .   On the death of King Henry IV of Castile , ( 1425 -- 1473 ) , on 11 December 1473 , the Mendoza family from Guadalajara , who had remained faithful to king Henry , was sought after and much courted by the new 23 years old self-proclaimed Queen of Castile , Isabel I of Castile , ( 1451 -- 1504 ) , a half sister of king Henry , against the sectors of the nobility wising to remain faithfdul to the young daughter of the king , 12 years old Juana la Beltraneja , ( 1462 -- 1530 ) . Isabel I had married , disregarding the authority , the advice and the political balances thought out by her brother the king , Prince of Aragon , later King of Aragon since 1479 , Ferdinand II of Aragon , ( 1452 -- 1516 ) . The self-proclamation of Isabel was made in Segovia the day after her half-brother died and without even counting at the time with her husband the Aragon Prince .   Civil wars ensued in Castile , the accounts running into many hundreds of books and probably hundreds of thousands of pages since then .   To cut short , the by then Archbishop of Seville , Pedro González de Mendoza , fourth child of poet Iñigo López de Mendoza , was offered by Isabel of Castile to `` create new nobility lineages '' with his `` beautiful children of sin '' , ( the Queen `` dixit '' ) , Rodrigo , Diego and their half brother Juan . Rodrigo became Count del Cid , to remember a 400-year-old `` ancestor '' , the famous El Cid from Medieval Castilian History .   The first marquess of Cenete or Zenete , title of 1491 , was also awarded by the Catholic Monarchs to Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar y Mendoza , deceased 1523 . He built the Castle of La Calahorra , and married twice , first to Leonor de la Cerda y Aragón , deceased around 1497 , and later to María de Fonseca y Toledo . His daughter Mencía de Mendoza , Second Marquise , died without issue ; his other daughter María , became Third Marquise and married Diego Hurtado de Mendoza , 4th Count of Saldaña , heir to the Duchy of Infantado . Thus the marquisate passed to the House of Infantado , whose members used both titles , alternating each generation between the style `` Marquess of Cenete and Duke of Infantado '' and `` Duke of Infantado and Marquess of Cenete '' .   The primogeniture of the marquesses included the baronies of Ayora , Alazque , Alberique and Gavarda , places inhabited by moriscos , industrious vassals working very well silks , iron , copper and alums , with Moorish ancestry , in the Kingdom of Valencia , as was Zenete after 1492 with the Conquest of Granada , and the seigneuries of Jadraque , El Castillo del Cid and Alcocer , in Guadalajara .

neg: Admiral of Portugal The high office of Admiral of the Kingdom of Portugal ( Portuguese : Almirante do Reino de Portugal ) as the head of the Portuguese navy was created by King Denis of Portugal in 1317 ( or 1322 ) for the Genoese nobleman and naval officer Manuel Pessanha ( Emanuele Pessagno ) . Although there is evidence that such a title existed before ( e.g. Afonso I appointed his half-brother Fuas Roupinho to the title in 1184 ) , it seems to have been of only a temporary character , for fleets assembled in times of war . The exception was perhaps Nuno Fernandes Cogominho who seems to have been appointed admiral by King Denis in 1307 , and still had that title at his death in 1316 , although the conditions are unclear . Nonetheless , Manuel Pessanha was the first person known to hold the title of Almirante-mor ( Chief Admiral ) as a permanent office for a permanent fleet . All the king 's galleys were under his jurisdiction . The conditions of the Pessanha 's title stipulated that he must maintain a corps of at least 20 Genoese naval officers at all times and was obliged to serve the king in military service on land as well as sea .   The office of Almirante-mor became a hereditary benefice in the Pessanha family - passing successively through his sons Carlos , Bertolomeu and Lançarote . After the disastrous handling of the Portuguese fleet in the blockade of Seville in 1369 , Pessanha 's son Lançarote Pessanha temporarily lost the admiral title to João Afonso Telo de Menezes ( Count of Barcelos ) , but was later restored by King Ferdinand of Portugal . The title then passed on through Lançarote 's sons Manuel II and then Carlos II , the last of the male line . Carlos II had no male heirs , but only two daughters ( Genebra & Brites ) and a niece ( Catarina , daughter of his late brother Antonio , who had died at Aljubarrota ) .   In 1433 , the title of Admiral went as dowry in the marriage of Genebra Pereira ( daughter of Carlos II Pessanha ) to D. Pedro de Menezes . After Menezes death in 1437 , the title was passed on to his nephew Lançarote da Cunha ( the young son of Carlos II Pessanha 's other daughter , Brites Pereira ) , but the office was de facto exercised by Brites 's husband , Rui de Mello da Cunha . Being pre-deceased by his son , Rui de Mello was appointed admiral de jure in 1453 .   After Mello 's death in 1467 , the title passed to Nuno Vaz de Castelo Branco , king 's chamberlain and son of Catarina Pessanha , who in turn passed in on to his own son Lopo Vaz de Castelo-Branco , c. 1476 . After the treason and assassination of Lopo Vaz de Castelo Branco , John II of Portugal handed the title to Pedro de Albuquerque in 1483 . But Albuquerque himself fell into intrigues and was soon deprived of the position .   In 1485 , John II gave the title of admiral to Lopo Vaz de Azevedo , a knight of the Order of Aviz ( and a relative of the Pessanhas ) , and made it hereditary in the Azevedo family . That line having lost male issue by 1646 , it was passed via female lines to D. Luis de Portugal , Count of Vimioso , and then after his death in 1660 , it passed on by female line to the house of Castro ( Counts of Resende ) .   Around 1373 ( exact date uncertain ) , the King created the office of captain-major of the fleet ( capitão-mor da frota ) , initially a complementary position , covering the command of the alto-bordo ( ` high-sided ' , or sail-powered ) ships of the fleet , leaving the Admiral exclusively in charge of the oar-powered galleys . The first capitão-mor was Gonçalo Tenreiro . During the reign of John I of Portugal , Tenreiro was succeeded Afonso Furtado de Mendonça ( appointment date uncertain ) and , in 1423 , by Álvaro Vaz de Almada ( Count of Avranches ) . The letter appointing Avranches designates a more extensive capitão-mor , covering the royal galleys and infringing on the traditional jurisdiction of the almirante-mor , thus suggesting that by this time , the title of almirante had become purely honorific , and the de facto high naval command had been absconded by the capitão-mor . However , the letter appointing Ruy de Mello da Cunha as ` admiral ' in 1453 temporarily restored his authority , including the ` alto-bordo ' ships . In 1460 , the admiral was deprived of his jurisdiction over arraes ( fishing boats ) , which were passed to local councils .   The title of ` Admiral ' was made more specific with the establishment in 1502 of the Admiral of the Indies ( Almirante das Indias ) , a second , separate Portuguese admiral title for the East Indies . Back in 1492 , Christopher Columbus had been granted the ornate title of ` Admiral of the Ocean Sea ' by the Catholic monarchs of Spain . Evidently , King Manuel I of Portugal felt that if the Spanish had an admiral sailing around , then surely Portuguese should have one too . So , in January 1502 , just before the departure on the 4th India Armada , Manuel I bestowed upon the fleet captain Vasco da Gama the overwrought title of Almirante dos mares de Arabia , Persia , India e de todo o Oriente ( `` Admiral of the Seas of Arabia , Persia , India and all the Orient '' - or ` Admiral of the Indies ' for short ) . The original ` Admiral ' title became thereafter referred to narrowly as Admiral of the `` Lusitanian Sea '' ( mar lusitano ) ( or simply , `` Admiral of Portugal '' ) . The Admiral of the Indies title remained hereditary with Gama 's descendants , the Counts of Vidigueira .

Born Nickolas Konstantin Athanasios Psacharopoulos VII , he claimed to have organized his first theatrical troupe at age 15 under the Nazi occupation of his homeland . He moved to the United States in 1947 and attended Oberlin College where he directed productions for the Oberlin Mummers . He graduated in 1951 with a degree in art history . Three years later he received a Master of Fine Arts Degree in theater direction from the Yale Drama School . In 1955 , he joined the faculty of Yale 's undergraduate theater studies department and also taught in the graduate Drama School , where he remained until his death of colon cancer at age 60 .   Psacharopoulos was a co-founder of the Williamstown Theater Festival ( WTF ) in 1955 , based in the Adams Memorial Theater on the campus of Williams College . Psacharopoulos went on to serve as WTF 's sole artistic executive director for 33 years , creating a professional summer theater that was more than a typical summer stock escapist operation . He was aided for many years by Tom Brennan , who served as the WTF associate director . Under Psacharopoulos ' leadership , WTF specialized in the plays of Anton Chekhov and Bertolt Brecht , as well as the work of many classic American playwrights such as Tennessee Williams , Thornton Wilder , Arthur Miller , and Archibald MacLeish . Psacharopoulos traveled often between his Greek homeland and New York City , his main residence , where he staged theater productions with the Circle-in-the-Square , the New York Pro Musica , and City Opera .   Psacharopoulos ' international reputation and demanding artistry drew many famous actors to perform with the WTF , names such as Frank Langella , Kate Burton , Rosemary Harris , Blythe Danner , and Colleen Dewhurst . To all -- his `` stars '' and apprentices -- he was a man of great style , a gourmet who would excuse himself from a table of friends to confer with a restaurant 's chef ; he was something of a dandy who , nevertheless , was always addressed simply as `` Nikos . ''   Many directors and leaders of American theater were inspired by Nikos ' guidance . Each year he would choose an assistant from his students at Yale to accompany him to WTF to experience their first seasons as professional directors . Peter H. Hunt , Austin Pendleton , Keith Fowler , and Arvin Brown are among those who first served with Nikos .

neg: Film director A film director is a person who directs the making of a film . Generally , a film director controls a film 's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the screenplay ( or script ) while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision . The director has a key role in choosing the cast members , production design , and the creative aspects of filmmaking . Under European Union law , the director is viewed as the author of the film .   The film director gives direction to the cast and crew and creates an overall vision through which a film eventually becomes realized , or noticed . Directors need to be able to mediate differences in creative visions and stay within the boundaries of the film 's budget . There are many pathways to becoming a film director . Some film directors started as screenwriters , cinematographers , film editors or actors . Other film directors have attended a film school . Directors use different approaches . Some outline a general plotline and let the actors improvise dialogue , while others control every aspect , and demand that the actors and crew follow instructions precisely . Some directors also write their own screenplays or collaborate on screenplays with long-standing writing partners . Some directors edit or appear in their films , or compose the music score for their films .

neg: 1994–95 Blackburn Rovers F.C. season The 1994 -- 95 season was Blackburn Rovers F.C. 's third season in the Premier League , and their third consecutive season in the top division of English football .   The season was marked by the club winning the Premier League title , ending their 81-year run without an English league title . They ended up winning the title by a one-point margin over Manchester United . Rovers led the way for most of the season , but a 2 -- 1 defeat at Kenny Dalglish 's old club Liverpool on the final day of the season briefly appeared to threaten their title hopes . Manchester United however could only draw ( 1 -- 1 ) at West Ham so the league title was back at Blackburn for the first time since 1914 . Jack Walker 's dream had come true : within five years of buying the club , he had taken them from strugglers in the old Second Division to champions of England .   Early exits from the League Cup , FA Cup and UEFA Cup to Liverpool , Newcastle and Trelleborg respectively were frustrating for Rovers in 1994 -- 95 , but turned out for the best as they could concentrate on the league challenge .   Kenny Dalglish won the Premier League Manager of the Year award for leading Blackburn to success , Alan Shearer won both the Golden Boot for contributing 34 of Blackburn 's 80 league goals and also the PFA Players ' Player of the Year award as nominated by his fellow professionals . Graeme Le Saux , Colin Hendry , Tim Sherwood and Shearer all made it into the PFA Team of the Year .

He has been inducted into both the Scottish and English Football Halls of Fame .   Dalglish began his career with Celtic in 1971 , going on to win four Scottish First Divisions , four Scottish Cups and one Scottish League Cup with the club . In 1977 , Liverpool manager Bob Paisley paid a British transfer record of # 440,000 ( # today ) to bring Dalglish to Liverpool .

For these achievements and his style of play he was given the name King Kenny by Liverpool supporters . Dalglish became player-manager of Liverpool in 1985 after the resignation of Joe Fagan , winning a further three First Divisions , two FA Cups and four FA Charity Shields , before resigning from Liverpool in 1991 .   Eight months later Dalglish made a return to football management with Blackburn Rovers , whom he led from the Second Division to win the Premier League in 1995 . Soon afterwards he stepped down as Blackburn manager to become Director of Football at the club , before leaving altogether in 1996 . In January 1997 Dalglish took over as manager at Newcastle United . Newcastle finished runners-up in both the Premier League and FA Cup during his first season , but they could only finish 13th in 1997 -- 98 , which led to his dismissal the following season . Dalglish went on to be appointed Director of Football at Celtic in 1999 , and later manager , where he won the Scottish League Cup before an acrimonious departure the following year .   Between 2000 and 2010 Dalglish focused on charitable concerns , founding The Marina Dalglish Appeal with his wife to raise money for cancer care . In January 2011 Dalglish was appointed Liverpool 's caretaker manager after the dismissal of Roy Hodgson , becoming the permanent manager in May 2011 . Despite winning the League Cup which earned them a place in the Europa League and reaching the FA Cup Final , Liverpool could only finish 8th in the Premier League , and Dalglish was dismissed in May 2012 . In October 2013 , Dalglish returned to Anfield as a non-executive director . On 3 May 2017 , it was announced that in recognition of Dalglish 's contribution to the club and community , the stadium 's Centenary Stand was to be renamed the Kenny Dalglish Stand .

neg: 2011–12 Leeds United F.C. season The 2011 -- 12 season was Leeds United A.F.C. 's second season back in the second tier of English football which initially saw the club challenging for the play-offs positions but dismal form in spring resulted in a 14th position finish . In other competitions , the squad only saw one round of the FA Cup with defeat at the hands of Arsenal for the second year in a row and reached the 3rd round of the League Cup , losing to rivals Manchester United .   A turbulent February saw Reserve Team Manager Neil Redfearn in charge of the team for four games with Manager Simon Grayson relieved of his duties and replaced by veteran promotion specialist Neil Warnock . Ross McCormack drastically improved his performance from the 2010-11 season by scoring 19 goals - the most in the squad . He narrowly lost out on Player of the Year to Robert Snodgrass who was made Club Captain by Warnock following the sale of influential local skipper Jonny Howson in January . Young Player of the Year went to Tom Lees who led an injection of the youth into the side with Aidan White establishing himself in the starting line-up and debuts being handed to youngsters Zac Thompson , Charlie Taylor and keeper Alex Cairns .   Off the field , the club 's directors reported a healthy profit of # 3.5 m , but found themselves at war with some supporters following the controversial # 7m summer renovation of the Elland Road stadium - a summer which saw a contrasting # 0.7 m spent on players ' transfers and # 5.2 m received in player sales . Chairman Ken Bates also came under scrutiny from fans following the departures of fans ' favourite Howson and 2010-11 Player of the Year Max Gradel .

neg: 1986–87 Manchester United F.C. season The 1986 -- 87 season was Manchester United 's 85th season in the Football League , and their 12th consecutive season in the top division of English football .   The pressure on manager Ron Atkinson after last season 's failed title challenge remained strong after United lost their opening three games of the season , and despite some decent results in the following few weeks , United bowed out of the League Cup in a fourth round replay defeat at Southampton , prompting the dismissal of Atkinson on 6 November 1986 after more than five years in charge .   Alex Ferguson was confirmed as Atkinson 's successor within hours , recruited from Scottish side Aberdeen , where he had enjoyed considerable success in the previous seven years . United recovered well in the league after his appointment and finished 11th , managing to scratch up some impressive results including winning both of their league clashes with Liverpool ( results which helped deprive Kenny Dalglish 's side of the league title ) , a 4 -- 1 home win over Newcastle United on New Year 's Day 1987 , a 2 -- 0 home win over a resurgent Arsenal and a 2 -- 0 win at Old Trafford in the Manchester derby which helped push City towards relegation . Their win at Liverpool also made them the only team to win at Liverpool in the league all season .   However , United were prevented from finishing even higher in the league by a few disappointing results after Ferguson 's arrival , beginning with a 2 -- 0 defeat in their first game under Ferguson at Oxford United , losing both of their clashes with newly promoted Wimbledon , being beaten at Old Trafford by Norwich City just after Christmas and suffering a 4 -- 0 defeat at Tottenham near the end of the season , although by the time of the Tottenham game it was mathematically impossible for United to either win the title or suffer relegation ( there was no prospect of European qualification due to the ongoing ban on English clubs in Europe following the Heysel disaster two years earlier ) . United also failed to win any another away games in the league apart from the visit to Liverpool on Boxing Day .   United 's improvement under Ferguson during the season was achieved without making any major signings , although it was widely expected that he would spend heavily on new players during the 1987 close season . He went on to pay Celtic # 850,000 for high-scoring striker Brian McClair . He strengthened the defence by paying Arsenal # 250,000 for experienced full-back Viv Anderson . Unsuccessful bids were also made for several other players : Ferguson expressed an interest in bringing striker Mark Hateley back to England from Milan , but the player opted to remain overseas and signed for AS Monaco instead . He also made a bid to bring Peter Beardsley back to the club from Newcastle United , but the England international forward instead joined Liverpool for a British record fee . Ferguson was offered the chance to sign Watford winger John Barnes , but declined to make an approach for the player due to his faith in Jesper Olsen in the same position .

neg: 1983–84 Manchester United F.C. season The 1983 -- 84 season was Manchester United 's 82nd season in the Football League , and their 9th consecutive season in the top division of English football . As FA Cup holders they suffered a shock exit at the hands of Third Division underdogs Bournemouth in the third round , but did reach the semi-finals of the European Cup Winners ' Cup and were narrowly defeated by Juventus . They frequently led the league during the season but eventually finish fourth , having been held to a draw in 14 out of 42 games despite losing just eight times . Perhaps the most memorable game of the season was the European Cup Winners ' Cup quarter-final clash with Barcelona of Spain , a side featuring Diego Maradona . After going 2 -- 0 down in the first leg , United achieved a remarkable 3 -- 0 win in the return leg at Old Trafford .   It was the breakthrough season at the club for young striker Mark Hughes , who scored four times late in the season , and the final season at the club for midfielder Ray Wilkins who exited Old Trafford at the end of the campaign to sign for Milan . Captain Bryan Robson stayed at the club despite an attempt to sign him by Italian side Juventus .   The close season saw the arrival of wingers Gordon Strachan and Jesper Olsen .

It was the first season at the club for new midfielder Ray Wilkins , signed in the 1979 close season for a club record fee of # 750,000 .

He scored as Bolton beat Manchester United at Old Trafford in both of his first two seasons in the top tier of English football , as well as important goals that helped Bolton regularly finish in the top half of the Premier League table .   Nolan was also a first team regular as Bolton qualified for the UEFA Cup for the first time in the club 's history -- where they reached the knockout stages . Following the departure of Jay-Jay Okocha in 2006 , Nolan was appointed as the team captain , and he led the team again to UEFA Cup qualification and , again , eventual progression to the knockout round of the competition .   Following the arrival of Gary Megson as Bolton manager , the team 's and Nolan 's performances were criticised by a section of the club 's fans . This resulted in the midfielder completing a # 4 million transfer to Newcastle United in the January 2009 transfer window .  He formed part of the team who were relegated to the Championship at the end of the season , but his performances the following season were widely praised , as he scored 18 goals -- including the first hat-trick of his career -- to help the club gain promotion back to the Premier League as the division 's champions . Following promotion , Nolan was promoted to club captain .   In the summer of 2011 Nolan joined West Ham United on a five-year contract , joining up again with Sam Allardyce , his former manager at Bolton .
