The last time a team other than Celtic or Rangers won the Scottish title was in 1984/85 when Alex Ferguson's Aberdeen side topped the division by seven points from Celtic. It was the fourth time the title had been won by Aberdeen with triumphs in 1955, 1980 and 1984. Their average league crowd was 16,152 in the 84/85 season - Last season they averaged 14,924 at Pittodrie.
Rangers have won the Scottish title 54 times with Celtic on 50 wins.
Since the Portuguese top division was founded in 1934 the title has been dominated by the 'big three' of the countries game. Benfica have won the Championship 37 times, Porto 28 times and Sporting CP 18 times. The only other two other sides to finish top are:
Belenenses won the title in 1945/46 when they won by just one point from Benfica. The club were relegated from the top division in 1982 for the first time in their history.
At the end of 2017/18 season the two parts of the club in "CF os Belenenses (Club)" and "Belenenses Sociedade Anónima Desportiva (SAD) - Public limited sports company" split as the "Protocol on the use of Estádio do Restelo" ended and the SAD refused to negotiate a new contract.
So from the 2018–19 season "Belenenses SAD" (the professional team) play their Primeira Liga home games at Estádio Nacional with "CF os Belenenses" are an amateur team playing in the sixth tier with the support of the majority of fans and club members. "Belenenses SAD" was legally forbidden from using the original logo and name.
Boavista topped the table in 2000/01 for the only time in their history. In June 2008 the club were relegated for it's part in the famous match fixing scandal known as 'Apito Dourado (Golden Whistle)' - the team were relegated again at the end of the 08/09 season and played in the third tier of the pyramid from 2009 to 2014. After a long legal battle the right for the club to come back to the Primeira Liga was awarded with the 'Os Axadrezados' returning to the top divison for the 14/15 campaign.
Havnar Bóltfelag (HB) are the most successful club in the Faroe Island's top division winning the title 23 times and being runner's up 25 times. They have also won the cup 27 times. The current champions are Klaksvíkar Ítróttarfelag (KI) which was their 18th title. The 2020 season was due to start on Sunday 8th March but it is currently on hold due to the current situation regarding the coronovirus outbreak.
Since the formation of Major League Soccer in America the following teams have won the MLS Cup which awarded to the winner of the post-season championship. The Supporter's Shield is awarded to the team with the best league record at the end of the regular season. It can be argued that the competition is one of the most competative in the football world with no less than 13 different champions in 24 seasons.

On only seven occasions have the winners of the supporter's shield won the MLS Cup - the last time being 2017 when Toronto FC won their first championship. The current champions are Seattle Sounders. Former Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion player Carlos Vela was the top scorer last season scoring 34 goals for Los Angeles who won the supporter's shield with a regular season record of 72 points.
Just two games have been played in the 2020 season prior to it's suspension due to the coronavirus pandemic.
THE COLD END WILL TRY AND KEEP POSTING ARTICLES REGULARLY DURING THE CURRENT SITUATION. I HOPE WHAT I'VE WRITTEN TAKES YOUR MIND OFF OF THINGS IF ONLY JUST FOR A FEW MINUTES.
WHAT I AM PLEASED TO READ OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS IS MANY FOOTBALL CLUBS FROM THE PREMIER LEAGUE DOWN TO GRASS ROOTS ARE HELPING OUT IN THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES.
THE COLD END
