1989–1990 Vendée Globe, Background
The inaugural Vendée Globe set off from Les Sables d'Olonne on 26 November 1989. Frenchman, Titouan Lamazou, sailing Ecureuil d'Aquitaine II, won the race with a time of 109 days.


1989–1990 Vendée Globe, Background
Philippe Jeantot, Vendée Globe founder, had problems with breakdowns, and then unfavorable winds, which held him back from the race lead. Philippe Poupon's ketch Fleury Michon X capsized in the Southern Ocean; and Poupon was rescued by Loïck Peyron, who finally finished second, in what was generally a successful first run of the race. Mike Plant, the lone American in the race, disqualified himself after receiving minor assistance near Campbell Island, New Zealand after a $5 rigging part on his sloop, Duracell, was damaged in the Pacific Ocean. Plant lost the race, but to the admiring French, he emerged a real hero after repairing the rigging and finishing the course as an unofficial competitor in 135 days, a new American single-handed circumnavigation record.

1989–1990 Whitbread Round the World Race
The 1989–90 Whitbread Round the World Race was run from Southampton to Southampton in 1989–90. It was run with several classes of yacht.


1989–1990 Whitbread Round the World Race
Steinlager 2 skippered by Peter Blake won the race easily. For the first time since 1981–82 (when the race comprised just four legs), the victor won every leg in their division (albeit closely chased by both Grant Dalton's Fisher & Paykel NZ and Pierre Fehlmann's Merit entries). The vast difference in speed and capability of the many different boats involved in the 1989 to 1990 race lead to the creation of a committee to examine the commission of a Whitbread class boat for use in future races.


1989–1990 Whitbread Round the World Race
Many of the Maxi yachts in this year's race were nearly twice the size (LOA) of the smallest, and carried well over twice the sail area. The net result of this was that many of the smaller boats finished the longer legs more than ten days after the leg winner. In the overall results, the last finisher was some 52 days behind Blake's Steinlager 2 128-day aggregate time. In addition, the cost of the big yachts was becoming too expensive to fund - even for the well sponsored teams like Steinlager, Rothmans and Merit. Eventually, the new class would be called the Whitbread 60.


1989–1990 Whitbread Round the World Race
The race featured the first all-woman crew on Tracy Edwards' Maiden. Although in a much smaller boat than many of their male counterparts the women fared well—claiming two leg victories in Division D. Edwards was named yachtsman of the year and appointed MBE. Recently a documentary has been made about the team's participation in the race.


1989–1990 Whitbread Round the World Race, Results
The boat Creighton's Naturally suffered a serious broach on leg 2, at about 3  am. Crew members Anthony (Tony) Philips and Bart van den Dwey were swept over board. They were both pulled back on deck. Van den Dwey successfully resuscitated, but, after three hours of trying, crewmembers were unable to revive Philips. A few days later, by radio agreement with relatives ashore, Philips was buried at sea.


1989–1990 Whitbread Round the World Race, Results
Martela OF lost its keel and capsized 350 nautical miles from the finish of leg 4. The unharmed crew was picked up from the overturned hull by Charles Jourdan and Merit. Union Bank of Finland also broke off the race to participate in the rescue.


1989–1990 flu epidemic in the United Kingdom
The 1989–1990 flu epidemic in the United Kingdom was an influenza epidemic of A(H3N2) type flu that occurred during the winter of 1989–1990. Although the outbreak was quite prolific in the United Kingdom, cases were reported in other parts of Europe and further afield, including France, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the Soviet Union. At its peak the epidemic saw an infection rate of between 534 and 600 people per 100,000, while various sources have attributed between 19,000 and 29,000 deaths to the outbreak.


1989–1990 flu epidemic in the United Kingdom
A study published in the December 1990 issue of the British Journal of General Practice notes that the outbreak was first recorded as an epidemic in mid-November 1989, with cases peaking in the UK in the week beginning 6 December. During the period from 15 November until the end of that year, the number of people reporting respiratory illnesses was roughly double the usual figure for that time of year, though not as high as some previous flu outbreaks.


1989–1990 flu epidemic in the United Kingdom
The New York Times reported that the outbreak was the worst to occur in Britain since the winter of 1975–76, and was similar to that winter's strain of flu, which killed 1,283 people. By 24 December the flu virus had infected more than a million people in the UK, and hospitals were cancelling surgery. Government statistics for the UK reported 102 deaths for the first week of December, an increase from seven on the same time the previous year. In Scotland, 2,400 deaths were reported in the seven days preceding Christmas Eve, an increase of 1,092 on the five year rolling average. Flu-related deaths for Wales over that winter were reported to be 1,627.


1989–1990 flu epidemic in the United Kingdom
Although the flu was quite prolific in the United Kingdom, cases were reported in other countries, including France, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the Soviet Union, and the Irish Republic, where in a 13 December address to Seanad Éireann, Senator Joe O'Reilly described it as "one of the worst epidemics for 30 years". A strain of flu classed as Type A Beijing and Type A Shanghai spread across the United States during the same winter.


1989–1990 flu epidemic in the United Kingdom
In January 1990, the Centers for Disease Control, based in Atlanta, Georgia, reported that the flu was present in 30 US states, but The Washington Post reported that public health officials were not expecting it to have the same level of impact as in the UK, since similar H3N2 flu strains had been present in the US during two previous winters. Dr Carole A. Heilman, a respiratory expert at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said "England has just not had a major epidemic for 10 to 15 years", whereas the recent presence of similar variants in the US meant that "one could assume there would be some protection".


1989–1990 flu epidemic in the United Kingdom
One of the effects of the 1989 flu outbreak was an increase in the use of flu vaccinations in the UK. Speaking in 2008, Professor John Oxford, an expert in virology at London's Queen Mary's School of Medicine and Dentistry, described the 1989 epidemic as having "caught everyone a bit off guard".


1989–1990 flu epidemic in the United Kingdom
An article in The Independent newspaper from November 1993 reported that between 19,000 and 25,000 deaths in the United Kingdom were attributed to the 1989–90 flu outbreak, while later reports have suggested the figure to be in the region of 26,000. Sources have reported an infection rate of between 534 and 600 cases per 100,000 at its peak. In July 2009, at the time of the swine flu outbreak, the Western Mail quoted a figure of 29,169 deaths for the 1989 epidemic, and noted its relatively low public profile. Dr Roland Salmon, director of the communicable disease surveillance centre of the National Public Health Service for Wales, observed that "few people have a marked recollection of 1989 as a year of Biblical carnage".


1989–1990 flu epidemic in the United Kingdom
The United States outbreak is estimated to have been responsible for 50,000 deaths. In October 2020, The Times reported that more people in Scotland died during the 1989–90 flu epidemic than did at the peak of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020.


1989–1990 protests in Ivory Coast
The 1989–1990 protests in Ivory Coast was massive violent demonstrations and a popular uprising that sprang up in Ivory Coast or Côte d'Ivoire in late-1989 to mid-1990, inspired by the 1989–1990 unrest in Benin against the government, low salaries and more.


1989–1990 protests in Ivory Coast, Background
Large student-led demonstrations occurred in the spring of 1990, descending into violent clashes and battles between the army and protesters. The protest movement would be the biggest the country has seen since its independence and the confrontations with the military during the protests would be the bloodiest since independence.


1989–1990 protests in Ivory Coast, Protests
Protesters wanted the fall of Félix Houphouët-Boigny who is president of the country. Nationwide pro-democracy protests erupted in the fall of 1989, when protesters wanted multiparty democracy and political freedoms. Tensions was rising amid violence at nonviolent protests and staged strikes by the opposition. In April–June 1989, a wave of strikes affected the industrial sectors in the country, inspiring people across the country.


1989–1990 protests in Ivory Coast, Protests
In response to deepening anger and widespread discontent, the government failed to silence and quell the disturbances so negotiations and peaceful protest actions was held instead but this didn’t stop protests. Demonstrators and students, high school students and university teachers marched in February for two months, protesting nth government’s fake promises in Abidjan and demanded better conditions, paid salaries and the resignation of the president.


1989–1990 protests in Ivory Coast, Protests
The government’s forces used live ammunition, batons and tear gas to prevent the gatherings, public meetings, anger, writing letters, speeches and nonviolent rallies from occurring. After waves of popular uprising and peaceful demonstrations, the government responded with negotiations, meeting its protesters and leaders of protest rallies and protest movement and made their demands clear. In 1991, four were killed in May–June during bloody crackdowns and deadly confrontations with the military after raids on campuses. Protesters rallied against the use of Police brutality.


1989–1990 unrest in Benin
The 1989-1990 unrest in Benin was a wave of protests, demonstrations, nonviolent boycotts, grassroots rallies, opposition campaigns and strikes in Benin against the government of Mathieu Kérékou, unpaid salaries, and new budget laws.


1989–1990 unrest in Benin, Protests
Protests were first kicked off by teachers unions, protesting unpaid salaries in January for 10 days. The strike was the longest in their history, and they were joined by trade unions, university students and healthcare workers, protesting against unpaid salaries and calling for better wage increases. Secondary and elementary school teachers joined in, calling for new national wage security and an end to corruption. Protest was met with Riot police repression. Priests, students and opposition supporters marched alongside other groups of the pro-democracy movement, calling for reforms and better wages.


1989–1990 unrest in Benin, Protests
Mathieu Kérékou threatened government workers who participated, but the protesters were adamant, calling for release of prisoners, fall of the government, and better wages. Civil servants joined protests in June, participating in large protests in Porto-Novo for the next few months amid threats of arrests. After months of nonstop intensive campaigns, police eventually opened fire on strikers, officially killing two protesters in August.


1989–1990 unrest in Benin, Protests
After the assaults, protesters staged different ways of protest, such as gatherings, public speeches, occupations, meetings and letters to government officials. After a break of protests and promises to meet their demands in October, another wave of anti-government strikes and demonstrations broke out, with the same methods from before. Professors, university students and teachers ended strikes in 1990, holding negotiations with the Mathieu Kérékou and his cabinet. Elections were held immediately in response to the protest movement.

1989–1992 Rugby League World Cup
The 1989–1992 Rugby League World Cup was the tenth staging of the Rugby League World Cup, and continued to use the three-year format, stretching across the years 1989 to 1992. As with the 1985–1988 World Cup, teams played each other on a home-and-away basis. These matches were fitted into the normal international programme of three-match test series between the nations, with a pre-designated match from each series counting as the World Cup fixture.


1989–1992 Rugby League World Cup
The matches went strictly to form, with Australia undefeated and certain to claim a world cup final berth as early as 1991. France and Papua New Guinea were uncompetitive, leading to a straight fight between New Zealand and Great Britain for the right to meet the Kangaroos in the final. In the event the Lions were able to just edge out the Kiwis on points difference.


1989–1992 Rugby League World Cup
As they had done in 1988, Australia had won the right to host the World Cup Final. However, with the potential for a much larger attendance, the Australian Rugby League agreed to allow Great Britain to host the game at the 82,000 capacity Wembley Stadium in London. The final was a surprisingly close affair, with Great Britain leading with only 12 minutes to go. The game's only try was then scored by centre Steve Renouf in his international debut for the Kangaroos and Australia were able to claim their fourth consecutive World Cup title before a world record international rugby league attendance of 73,631.

1989–1992 Rugby League World Cup, Matches, Group stage, 1992
In addition to being an allocated World Cup match, this was the third, deciding test of the 1992 Ashes series. This six-point margin of defeat meant that New Zealand would need to beat Papua New Guinea by 109 points in the following match to prevent a Great Britain-Australia World Cup Final in October.


1989–1992 Rugby League World Cup, Matches, Final
This match set a new world record attendance for a rugby league international of 73,631, beating the previous record of 70,204 set at the Sydney Cricket Ground during the 1932 Ashes series. As they had done in 1988, Australia won the right to host the World Cup Final. However, in the interests of rugby league, and the potential for a much larger attendance since at the time Lang Park in Brisbane could only hold 33,000, and the Sydney Football Stadium could only seat 42,000, the ARL agreed to Great Britain hosting the final at the 82,000 capacity Wembley.


1989–1992 Rugby League World Cup, Matches, Final
Unlike 1988 when Australia had agreed to let New Zealand host the Final at Eden Park in Auckland due to dwindling international attendances in Australia, the international game had become popular again over the next four years (mainly due to much improved performances by Great Britain and New Zealand) and there was a good chance of sell-out crowd in either Brisbane or Sydney for the game. However, the potential for an attendance at Wembley that would be almost or more than double the size that could be seen in Australia, and the potential exposure from playing the game at one of the world's most iconic stadiums, could not be ignored.


1989–1992 Rugby League World Cup, Matches, Final
Both coaches picked experienced teams, with only Australian's Tim Brasher (fullback) and Steve Renouf (centre) making their international debut in the game. With incumbent fullback Andrew Ettingshausen unavailable through injury, Australian coach Bob Fulton preferred utility outside back Brasher over Newcastle Knights fullback Brad Godden due to Brasher's previous big game experience having played in Balmain's 1989 Grand Final loss as well as making his State of Origin debut earlier in the year. Fulton also chose seven members from the Brisbane Broncos 1992 Winfield Cup premiership winning team including exciting centre Renouf. Lions coach Mal Reilly chose to retain Garry Schofield as captain despite the presence of Ellery Hanley in the team. He also went with pace on the wings with Martin Offiah and St. Helens flyer Alan Hunte.


1989–1992 Rugby League World Cup, Matches, Final
The hard-fought final was a one-try affair, with Great Britain leading 6–4 with only 12 minutes remaining. The only try of the match was then set up by Australian replacement back Kevin Walters, who, with a clever cut-out pass, put his Broncos teammate Steve Renouf into a gap not covered by replacement Lions centre John Devereux. Renouf, in his debut test for Australia, then raced 20 metres to score in the corner. Otherwise, the two teams' kickers (Mal Meninga and Deryck Fox) were called upon to score most of the points, including Meninga's pressure sideline conversion of Renouf's try. The rain started pouring in the second half and Australia was able to hold Great Britain out and maintain their lead until the final siren.


1989–1992 Rugby League World Cup, Matches, Final
Australia's triumph saw them win their fourth World Cup in a row after winning the previous cups in 1975, 1977 and 1988. It also ended a mini-hoodoo for the Kangaroos at London's Wembley Stadium. Australia had previously left the arena 21–12 losers in 1973, and the 1990 Kangaroos were outplayed by Great Britain 19–12, but when it mattered most this time around Australia proved themselves as worthy World Cup champions.


1989–1992 Rugby League World Cup, Matches, Final
The match was telecast live late at night throughout Australia on the Nine Network, with commentary provided by Ray Warren, Peter Sterling and Paul Vautin, with sideline comments from Chris Bombolas. The game broke Australia's midnight-to-dawn television ratings record which was set a year earlier by the rugby union's 1991 Rugby World Cup Final.


1989–1992 Rugby League World Cup players
The 1985–1988 Rugby League World Cup involved players from the national rugby league football teams of five countries: Australia, France, Great Britain, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. As the World Cup was played over four years during normal international tours, these groups of players never assembled in one place as an entire squad.

It ran from 1 November 1989 to 30 April 1990. The regional tropical cyclone operational plan also defines a tropical cyclone year separately from a tropical cyclone season, and the "tropical cyclone year" ran from 1 July 1989 to 30 June 1990.


1989–90 Australian region cyclone season
Tropical cyclones in this area were monitored by four Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres (TCWCs): the Australian Bureau of Meteorology in Perth, Darwin, and Brisbane; and TCWC Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea.


1989–90 Australian region cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Storm 02S
Tropical Storm 02S existed from July 14 to July 16.


1989–90 Australian region cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Pedro
At 0:00 UTC on November 6, the BOM detected an area of low pressure within a monsoonal trough near 7.8°S, 97.2°E., which gradually organized while drifting westward for the next couple of days. On November 8, the disturbance strengthened into a tropical cyclone and was named Pedro. The cyclone continued to intensify before reaching its peak intensity at 13:00 UTC on November 10 with 10-minute sustained winds of around 70 mph (110 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 982 mbar (28.99 inHg), with a short-lived eye visible on satellite imagery. As Pedro moved southward, strong vertical wind shear left the low-level center bare and displaced convection to the northwestern side of the storm. At 0:00 UTC on November 13, Pedro's winds weakened below gale-force and the system degenerated into a remnant system, which dissipated the following day.


1989–90 Australian region cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Pedro
Pedro passed within 85 miles (140 km) of Cocos Island, where a peak wind gust of around 85 mph (137 km/h) was recorded. At least 7.9 inches (202 mm) of precipitation fell on the island within a 24-hour period, causing localized flooding. A palm plantation and loading wharf were damaged by the storm.


1989–90 Australian region cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Felicity
On 13 December, the BoM started to monitor a monsoon low, that had developed within the Arafura Sea to the northeast of Darwin. Over the next day, the system moved southeastwards over the Northern Territory, before it re-curved slightly and entered the Gulf of Carpentaria. Early on 15 December, the system was named Felicity by TCWC Brisbane, after it had become a category 1 tropical cyclone on the Australian Scale. During that day the JTWC initiated advisories on the system and designated it as Tropical Cyclone 07P, with peak 1-minute sustained wind speeds of 110 km/h (70 mph).


1989–90 Australian region cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Felicity
TCWC Brisbane subsequently reported peak 10-minute sustained wind speeds of 110 km/h (70 mph), before the system made landfall over the Cape York Peninsula where it weakened below cyclone intensity. The system subsequently moved into the Coral Sea during 16 December, where it started to rapidly deepen, but did not reattain the classical characteristics of a tropical cyclone. As a result, both TCWC Nadi and TCWC Brisbane treated the system as a tropical depression over the next four days despite winds of between 110 and 115 km/h (68 and 71 mph) being observed in the southwest quadrant. Felicity subsequently dissipated during 20 December as it was absorbed by a short-wave trough of low pressure to the north of New Zealand. Some minor damage to vegetation was recorded on the Cape York Peninsula.


1989–90 Australian region cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Rosita
Rosita was first noted as a low-pressure system at 18:00 UTC on January 4 while it located well south of Java. Moving swiftly westward, the disturbance gradually organized for two days until slightly weakening due to increasing vertical wind shear. The system remained quasi-stationary until January 9 when a developing ridge in the middle-latitudes forced the disturbance northwestward. The low was ill-defined with a weak and sheared structure on satellite imagery while moving equatorward. By 6:00 UTC the following day, convection began to redevelop and consolidate through January 12 as the disturbance strengthened.


1989–90 Australian region cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Rosita
At 15:00 UTC on January 13, tropical storm-force winds formed around the center, prompting the BOM to upgrade the low into Tropical Cyclone Rosita. The nascent cyclone tracked south-southeastward, remaining under the influence  of vertical wind shear causing majority of convection to be displaced west of the center. Rosita once again changed course late the next day, shifting northwestward as it lost gale-force winds. The remnants tracked around the periphery of the more intense Severe Tropical Cyclone Sam, before moving equatorward and dissipating on January 17.


1989–90 Australian region cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Nancy
In late January, a monsoon trough spawned a tropical depression on 26 January, over the Coral Sea. The depression developed good outflow, before gaining tropical cyclone characteristic on 31 January, and was designated as Tropical Cyclone Nancy. An upper-level trough forced the storm southward, before shifting southwestward. At 3:00 UTC on 1 February, Nancy reached its peak intensity with 10-minute sustained winds of around 60mph (110 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 975 mbar. Between 1–2 February, the cyclone gradually moved just offshore the Brisbane area. Nancy then weakened while continuing to move southward, before transitioning into an extratropical low on 4 February. The remnants eventually dissipated to the west of New Zealand on 8 February.

Bird led the way averaging 24.3 points, 9.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, while being selected for the 1990 NBA All-Star Game, and selected to the All-NBA Second Team.

1989–90 Brentford F.C. season
During the 1989–90 English football season, Brentford competed in the Football League Third Division. After showing relegation form during the first three months of the season, a revival between November 1989 and February 1990 ensured a mid-table finish.


1989–90 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
After a long season in which the sheer amount of cup fixtures ultimately affected Brentford's hopes of a finish in the Third Division play-offs, manager Steve Perryman saw fit to make only minor changes to his squad. Released were bit-part players and late-season signings Andy Feeley, Graham Pearce, Jon Purdie, Jeremy Roberts and Tony Sealy and in came just two players – club record £167,000 midfielder Eddie May from Hibernian (as a direct replacement for March 1989 departee Andy Sinton) and left back Mark Fleming on a free transfer from Queens Park Rangers.


1989–90 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
Aside from progressing to the second round of the League Cup, Brentford had a torrid start to the Third Division season and dropped into the relegation places on 9 September 1989. Manager Perryman entered the transfer market to bring Watford forward Dean Holdsworth back to Griffin Park, after a one-month loan spell during the previous season. The £125,000 paid for Holdsworth made him the club's most expensive forward at the time.


1989–90 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
The signing of Holdsworth had little immediate impact and the Bees' slump continued from September into mid-November, when the club occupied bottom place in the division for three weeks in a row. A 2–0 win over Northampton Town at the County Ground on 25 November provided the spark that changed the team's fortunes, with Holdsworth coming into form and inspiring a run of 10 wins and 1 draw from a 13-match spell, which lifted Brentford from 24th to 9th place. The Bees stumbled through to the end of the season and the products of Colin Lee's youth team were given game time. Brentford ended the campaign in 13th place.

1989–90 British Basketball League season
The 1989–1990 BBL season was the third season of the British Basketball League (known as the Carlsberg League for sponsorship reasons) since its establishment in 1987. The season featured a total of just eight teams, playing 28 games each. Due to the low number of teams, the post-season play-offs featured only the top four teams from the regular season instead of the usual top eight finishers. The future of the league was in the balance due to the waning number of teams. Livingston folded, Crystal Palace and Hemel Hempstead Watford Royals both dropped to the National League and Glasgow Rangers moved back to Kingston. There was small consolation in the formation of a new club called London Docklands (formerly Tower Hamlets) which joined the league.

1989–90 Calgary Flames season
The regular season success did not translate in the post season, however, as the Flames were stunned by the Los Angeles Kings in six games in the first round of the playoffs.

The Blackhawks were again headed to the conference finals - with only the Edmonton Oilers standing in their way to get to the Stanley Cup Finals (and unlike their previous playoff loses to Edmonton, this time the Oilers were without Gretzky)

1989–90 Colchester United F.C. season
Initially looking to build on manager Jock Wallace's influence towards the end of the 1988–89 season after five consecutive wins and unbeaten in eight, Colchester had a dreadful start to the new campaign, not registering a win until late September and then no further league wins until Boxing Day. By this time, Wallace had stepped aside from his role due to ill health, and after another caretaker spell for Steve Foley, Mick Mills was tasked with keeping Colchester in the Football League. Aside from a four match unbeaten run in February and early March, Mills ultimately failed as the U's finished bottom of the entire Football League and relegated to the Conference.


1989–90 Colchester United F.C. season
Only one win was registered in the cups, with a 1–0 FA Cup first round win over Brentford the only highlight prior to elimination by Birmingham City in the second round.

Assistant manager Alan Ball left the club to join Stoke City and ahead of Christmas, Wallace stepped aside due to ill health and the onset of Parkinson's disease. Steve Foley was once again placed in temporary charge of the U's first-team, but declined the offer of the role full-time instead preferring his youth team duties. Chairman Jonathan Crisp brought in former Ipswich Town and England defender Mick Mills as new manager having recently been dismissed by Stoke City.


1989–90 Colchester United F.C. season, Season overview
Mills' appointment initially had a positive effect on the team, and they won three and drew one of four league games in late February and early March, but a defeat at nearest rivals Wrexham in late March, after twice leading before succumbing to a 3–2 defeat, summed up the remainder of the season. Despite having enough time to potentially improve their situation, six defeats in the final eight games of the season left Colchester bottom of the Fourth Division and so relegated to the Conference.

Jonathan Crisp's initial hope of achieving Second Division football within five years of his appointment in 1985 now seemed very distant with the club out of the Football League for the first time in 40 years.
