Liam Watson looking at lucky number seven at AFC Telford
Boss Liam Watson will be in seventh heaven if AFC Telford win the Skrill Conference North title tomorrow – and he boasts six of the best on the last day.
It really will be lucky number seven for the 43-year-old, as that's the amount of times he's been crowned a champion in the final fixture as a player and a boss.
The only manager to win the Conference North twice will cement his legend in the league tomorrow if the Bucks can pick up three points at home to Gainsborough Trinity and seal an instant return to the Conference.
Watson said: "If we were to win the league here tomorrow, it will be the seventh time in my career I have won a championship on the last day of the season.
"That would make it one with Telford, twice with Southport and once with Burscough. As a player, I did it with Marine and Accrington Stanley.
"There was another one when I played for a team in America, out in south Jersey for a time. I would have liked an easy ride for just one season!
"It was all on the last day, although there was another one with Marine where we managed to get the job done early, so it's actually eight titles."
His managerial exploits include winning a title at Telford's expense at the New Bucks Head with his Burscough side in 2007.
They silenced the Bucks' current record home crowd of 5,710 with goals from Kevin Leadbetter and Ciaran Kilheeney, a lone reply from Justin Marsden not enough for the home side.
Watson's side took the Northern Premier League title but Rob Smith's Telford still made it up through the play-offs.
It's now Watson who occupies the home dugout with the Bucks in the league above, but he's hoping it still proves a happy hunting ground for last-day success.
He said: "When I came to Telford that day, I was really confident because we had so much physicality and power in that Burscough team.
"The home crowd were amazing that day, I remember thinking how great it was and how fantastic it would be to manage Telford as a football club.
"What one of my predecessors, Rob Smith, did to pick those players up to win the play-offs after losing that day has always been inspirational to me. I don't know how anyone could have done that, because they were that flat."
Watson is now once again trying to see a job through where Telford just have to match North Ferriby's result to gain promotion.
He said: "We have got to make sure we see the job through and I have had every confidence in the lads since day one, the intention was always to win the league.
"We go into the last game with the chance of that in our own hands, so we have done well. We always needed a point on them, with the goal difference.
"We are really looking forward to the game and, if we can pull it off, there will be an awful lot of happy people here come about 4.50pm on Saturday!
"It's a lot better when you know what you have got to do on the last day. Win the game and don't worry about anybody else, concentrate on ourselves.
"That's what we know and all we can do is approach it in the right manner."
