Just a fortnight before he turns 70, former England caretaker Peter Taylor slipped into the cockpit for his 17th job in club management.
The man who handed David Beckham the Three Lions captain's armband, in between Kevin Keegan and Sven-Goran Eriksson's reigns 22 years ago, has taken over at lowly Maldon and Tiptree in the Isthmian League North.
Give or take a billion quid and 179 places on English football's ladder, Taylor insists there are few differences between Manchester City at the Premier League summit and his new beat in Essex hinterlands. It's still the same game, except the Jammers won't be cursing VAR every week and you won't find Salt Bae sprinkling his seasoning in the clubhouse at the 2,800-capacity Wallace Binder Ground.
