Nuno Ricardo de Oliveira Ribeiro, OIH (born 11 November 1977), aka Maniche (Portuguese pronunciation: [maˈniʃɨ], or less commonly [maˈnik(ɨ)]), is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a central midfielder.

Known for his teamwork, stamina and powerful shot, the Portuguese international received his nickname after Benfica's 1980s legendary Danish forward Michael Manniche.

He is amongst the players who have competed in all four major European leagues. In 2004, he helped Porto win the Champions League, winning a total of eight trophies with that club. Maniche won more than 50 caps for Portugal, representing the nation in one World Cup and one European Championship.

Born in Lisbon, Maniche began his career in the junior teams of local Sport Lisboa e Benfica. After a stint with neighbours F.C. Alverca, he returned to the Reds in 1999, where he initially played as a winger.

Following disciplinary problems at Benfica, he was signed by José Mourinho, then manager of F.C. Porto. Mourinho made Maniche a key member of his team, reconverting him to centre midfielder.

Cheb Hasni (Arabic : الشاب حسني) born Hasni Chakroun (February 1, 1968 – September 29, 1994) was a performer of Algerian Raï music. He was popular across North Africa, having reached the height of his career in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He was the son of a welder and grew up in a working class family where he was one of seven children. Hasni is most well known for his love songs, but he also dealt with taboo subjects such as divorce and alcohol. He was murdered in 1994.

Born in Oran, Algeria, Cheb Hasni was interested in performing from an early age. In an interview published in the French newspaper Libération in 1992, Hasni recounted how "everyone knew me in our neighbourhood when I was a kid. I was always walking up the road with my school bag thrown off my shoulder, singing my head off"^{[citation needed]}. Hasni was also talented in football and a good student, but these traits were overshadowed by his musical interests.

Hasni's first significant performance as a singer occurred when he attended a local wedding party, where the group led by the famous Naoui brothers was playing. Impressed by his voice, they invited him to perform on stage at a well-known cabaret, La Guinguette.
