Leslie Mark Hughes, OBE (born 1 November 1963) is a Welsh football manager and former player.
 He is the current manager of English Premier League club Stoke City.
The 1976–77 season was the 31st season in Rijeka’s history and their 15th season in the Yugoslav First League.
 Their 11th place finish in the 1975–76 season meant it was their third successive season playing in the Yugoslav First League.
The 2000–01 season was Manchester United's ninth season in the Premier League, and their 26th consecutive season in the top division of English football.
 United won the Premier League for the third successive season and the seventh time since its inauguration in 1993.
 They were less successful in cup competitions, going out in the fourth round of the FA Cup, the fourth round of the League Cup and the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The 1984–85 Yorkshire Cup was the seventy-seventh occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition had been held.
 This season there were no junior/amateur clubs taking part, no new entants and no "leavers" and so the total of entries remained the same at thirteen.
 This in turn resulted in three byes in the first round.
 In this year's final, Hull F.C. beat close neighbours and fierce rivals Hull Kingston Rovers by the score of 29-12.
 The match was played at Boothferry Park, Kingston upon Hull.
 The city was formally in the East Riding of Yorkshire, followed by Humberside and is now (back) in the ceremonial county of the East Riding of Yorkshire (albeit that the word "Riding" means "a third part" and there is now only one !)
.
 It was moved to this stadium from the provisionally reserved venue due to the interest showed by fans and after requests by both finalists, and the organisers were rewarded with a crowd of 25,237 and gate receipts more than doubled from last year's £33,572 to £68,639.
 This is only the third meeting of these two clubs in the Yorkshire Cup final, on the two previous occasions Hull Kingston Rovers defeated Hull F.C., in 1920-21 by 2-0 and 1967 by 8-7; this time it was revenge and by a wider margin.
 This is the third successive Yorkshire Cup final victory for Hull F.C. And the first of two successive Final appearances by Hull Kingston Rovers
In 2016 Shelbourne F.C. are competing in the League of Ireland First Division for the third successive season following two failed attempts at promotion having finished fourth in the previous season.
 This season is currently commencing.
 Kevin Doherty continued on as manager for the second consecutive season.
 The squad had been significantly renewed over the previous season after many transfers were brought in.
 Doherty stepped down on mutual grounds with the club in June before former Shelbourne captain Owen Heary took over as the new manager.
The 1880–81 season was Northwich Victoria's 7th season, however the club was not a member of an organised league and played only challenge matches organised on an ad hoc basis.
 The club won the Cheshire Senior Cup, then known as the Cheshire County Football Association Challenge Cup, for the second successive season.
 They also participated in the Welsh Cup for the third time, reaching the semi-final.
 The side was captained by Matthew Earlam for the 7th successive season.
 He was also the joint top goalscorer for the season with 8 goals.
The 1932–33 season was Port Vale's 27th season of football in the Football League, and their third successive season (26th overall) in the Second Division.
 The season is notable as the last season of football for legendary striker Wilf Kirkham – who finished as top scorer for the sixth time in his Vale career.
 It is also notable for a 9–1 thrashing of Chesterfield in which Stewart Littlewood scored six goals – both feats are still standing club records.
 Otherwise an unremarkable season, the club limped to 17th in the league and exited the FA Cup at the Third Round, whilst rivals Stoke City were promoted as champions.
Blackburn Rovers F.C. finished in the top half of the Premier League for the third successive season, this time ending up in 7th place, ultimately not enough for European qualification.
 Manager Mark Hughes departed for Manchester City at the end of the season, while successful winger David Bentley was sold to Tottenham Hotspur for a club record fee.
 Striker Roque Santa Cruz, a summer signing from Bayern Munich, had the season of his life, scoring 19 league goals, making up for Benni McCarthy's loss of form.
 Despite interest for richer clubs, Santa Cruz stayed on for another season.
The 2012 season was University College Dublin A.F.C.'s third successive season in the League of Ireland Premier Division.
 The club, more commonly known as UCD, finished in 9th position and thus retained their place in the division for the 2013 season.
 During the 2012 season, the club also competed in the FAI Cup, League of Ireland Cup and the Leinster Senior Cup.
The 2013–14 FC Kuban Krasnodar season was the third successive season that the club played in the Russian Premier League, the highest tier of football in Russia.
 They finished the season in 8th place and were knocked out at the fifth round of the Russian Cup by Zvezda Ryazan on penalties after a 2–2 draw.
