Tony Pulis hits 1,000 games as a manager this weekend and, like it or lump it, that deserves to be celebrated.
Pulis takes West Brom to Stoke for his millennial moment; his old stamping ground - the Bet365 Stadium - presenting the perfect platform to mark such an illustrious milestone.
Illustrious seems a curious word to use in connection with Pulis - a son of South Wales whose 17-year playing career bounced around the south west and Dorset, via a brief spell in Kent, before reaching into management.
But illustrious his achievement is.
