The 1997–98 season was Manchester United's sixth season in the Premier League, and their 23rd consecutive season in the top division of English football. The campaign ended in disastrous fashion, having been pipped to the Premier League title by Arsenal, who managed a ten-match winning streak in the last two months of the season as well as being eliminated by league strugglers Barnsley and French outfit AS Monaco in the FA Cup and UEFA Champions League, respectively. To make matters worse, United entered March still in contention for a League and European double after opening up a 12-point gap, regardless of the fact that nearest challengers Arsenal had three games in hand. Thus, the season ended with only the Charity Shield in the cabinet. Following the loss of captain and star striker, Eric Cantona at the end of the previous season, Ferguson acquired the services of England international Teddy Sheringham as a direct replacement on a three-year deal from Tottenham Hotspur for £3.5 million. Cantona's departure meant that Roy Keane was promoted as captain and a reshuffle of squad numbers occurred; David Beckham was awarded the coveted number 7 shirt and Sheringham was given Beckham's former squad number 10. Henning Berg was the only other new face to arrive at Old Trafford from Blackburn Rovers for a £5 million fee at the start of the season. | SportsSeason | SportsTeamSeason | SoccerClubSeason |

5101 Akhmerov, provisional designation 1985 UB5, is an Eos asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 12 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 22 October 1985, by Russian female astronomer Lyudmila Zhuravleva at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Nauchnyj, on the Crimean peninsula. The asteroid is a member of the Eos family, an orbital group of more than 4,000 asteroids, which are well known for mostly being of stony composition with a relatively high albedo. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.7–3.4 AU once every 5 years and 3 months (1,903 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.12 and an inclination of 11° with respect to the plane of the ecliptic. The first precovery was obtained at the discovering observatory in 1969, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 16 years prior to its discovery. According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's space-based Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, the asteroid measures 11.0 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.19. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link (CALL) assumes an albedo of 0.14 – which derives from 221 Eos, the largest member and namesake of this orbital family – and calculates a diameter of 12.3 kilometers. While CALL classifies it as a stony S-type asteroid, the large-scale survey by Pan-STARRS rates it a CX class body, a transitional type between the carbonaceous C-type and the metallic X-type asteroids. A rotational light-curve of this asteroid was obtained from photometric observations taken at the U.S. Palomar Transient Factory in September 2011. The light-curve gave a rotation period of 4.2705±0.0010 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.33 in magnitude (U=2). The minor planet was named after Vadim Zinov'evich Akhmerov (b. 1929), long-time physician at the maternity hospital in Alushta on the Crimean peninsula. Naming citation was published on 4 May 1999 (M.P.C. 34620). | Place | CelestialBody | Planet |

The 2006–07 season was the 124th year of football played by Bristol Rovers, and their 80th season in The Football League, and covers the period from 1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007. After finishing sixth in Football League Two, Rovers won the playoff final for the first time in their history, and won promotion for only the fourth time since joining The Football League.

However, as the season progressed the team gradually climbed up the league and reached the fourth round of the FA Cup, and the final of the Football League Trophy. | SportsSeason | SportsTeamSeason | SoccerClubSeason |

The 1953 Swiss Grand Prix was a Formula Two race held on 23 August 1953 at Bremgarten Circuit. It was the eighth round of the 1953 World Drivers' Championship, which was run to Formula Two rules in 1952 and 1953, rather than the Formula One regulations normally used. With his victory at this race, Ferrari driver Alberto Ascari won his second Driver's championship in a row; as teammates Nino Farina and Mike Hawthorn, and Maserati driver Juan Manuel Fangio (who failed to score) now could not beat Ascari's total points score.

Lick Creek is a 30.6-mile-long (49.2 km) tributary of Lake Springfield and thus a tributary of the Sangamon River in central Illinois. It drains a large portion of southwestern Sangamon County and a marginal adjacent fragment of southeastern Morgan County. The drainage of Lick Creek includes all of Loami, Illinois and part of Chatham, Illinois. Much of the Lick Creek drainage is intensely farmed arable land, with 460-acre (1.9 km2) of natural area enumerated here. When land parcels were condemned for Lake Springfield in the 1920s and 1930s, a large section of the lower Lick Creek bottomland was set aside as woodland to protect the lake's water quality. This 340-acre (1.4 km2) riparian zone was designated as the Lick Creek Wildlife Preserve by its owner, the Springfield, Illinois-based City Water, Light & Power, in 1991. According to Sangamon County, the watershed protection zone contains a notable grove of mixed sugar maples and chinkapin oaks. One chinkapin, located in Camp Widjiwagan, has been dated at more than 300 years of age. In addition, a 120-acre (0.49 km2) creekside parcel, the Nipper Wildlife Sanctuary near Loami, has been redesignated for restoration as tallgrass prairie.
