Sheffield Wednesday manager Brian Laws is hoping to mark the end of his third year in charge at Hillsborough this week with victory over QPR on Saturday.

Laws left Scunthorpe to take over from previous Owls boss Paul Sturrock on November 6 2006, with his third anniversary falling on Friday.

The 48-year-old is Wednesday's longest-serving manager since Trevor Francis, who departed after just under four years in charge in 1991.

Former Nottingham Forest defender Laws is also the fourth longest-serving manager in the Championship behind Cardiff's Dave Jones, Gary Johnson at Bristol City and Doncaster's Sean O'Driscoll.
