West Ham's clash with Sheffield United today will mark David Moyes' 900th game as a manager.

The Hammers boss admits he wasn't aware of the record.

He said: "I didn't know it was my 900th league game as a manager this weekend but I'm very pleased with that.

"No manager ever knows how things are going to be, or turn out, and you have to try and hopefully win games, which can keep you in a job or maybe even get you another job! In 1998, when I first took the job at Preston North End, it was a case of trying to have another career in football [after playing] and thankfully it's gone pretty well so far.

"I don't think there's any secret to managerial longevity. Roy Hodgson [the Crystal Palace manager] might be able to tell us though because he's been in the game a long longer than I have. But I've been in it a long time and I think you need to have an incredible love for the game and also a desire to keep improving and evolving through the years.

"I have to say I've really enjoyed my career and I'm really enjoying my time with West Ham United. I want to say a big thanks to all the clubs and the owners who have given me a chance to manage their teams."
