Holloway honoured alongside Klopp and Mourinho at LMA Awards
The Swindon Town manager was one of five presented with a commemorative shield at the LMA Awards Night for reaching 1,000 competitive games in management.
After a four-year hiatus, Holloway finally got above the four-figure mark against his former club Grimsby Town in December as Swindon were victorious by three goals to one.

Alongside the 62-year-old on the stage as they were inducted into the LMA Hall of Fame 1,000 Club was Mourinho, Klopp, David Moyes OBE, and Mick McCarthy, with the cohort having combined to win 46 trophies across their various glittering careers.
LMA Chief Executive Richard Bevan OBE said: 'The association was also proud to induct Ian Holloway, Jürgen Klopp, Mick McCarthy, José Mourinho and David Moyes OBE into the esteemed LMA Hall of Fame 1,000 Club.
'They now join an elite group of pioneering names who have all demonstrated the resilience, commitment and sacrifice required to be a modern-day manager.

Holloway has been in management for over a quarter of a century, starting out as a player-manager at Bristol Rovers, and has had huge success with Queen's Park Rangers, Blackpool, and Crystal Palace, taking the latter two into the Premier League, and will be hoping to add promotion with Swindon to that next season.
The event also saw the LMA hand out their various managerial awards for the season, with Arne Slot taking home the most prestigious honour of Manager of the Year, having delivered Liverpool's second Premier League title in his first season in the job.
Leeds United's Daniel Farke won Championship Manager of the Year, Chris Davies of Birmingham City won the League One prize, Grant McCann in League Two after winning the title with Doncaster Rovers, Sonia Bompastor the Barclays Women's Super League Manager of the Year for her undefeated season with Chelsea Women, and Jay Sadler of Portsmouth Women for the Barclays Women's Championship.
In addition to these, Oliver Glasner, Eddie Howe, Ange Postecoglou, and Renee Slegers all received the LMA John Duncan Award for the historic successes they brought to Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal Women, respectively.

UFC BMF champ Max Holloway says injury likely to sideline him for rest of 2025
Max Holloway doesn't expect to see the octagon again this year after spoiling Dustin Poirier's retirement fight at UFC 318 in July. Reigning UFC BMF champion Holloway (27-8 MMA, 23-8 UFC) revealed Friday that a lingering hand injury stemming from his unanimous decision win over Poirier in New Orleans is causing more problems than expected, and it likely will prevent him from fighting again in the next few months. "My right hand still hurts," Holloway said on his YouTube channel. "If you have hopes of me fighting before the end of the year, probably not going to happen." Holloway, 33, said he wouldn't specify the exact nature of the injury at this time. He needs additional testing done on it to determine recovery methods and a timeline, then he can determine where he fits in the red-hot lightweight division based on when he's cleared to compete. "I see a specialist some time this week," Holloway said. "Things are not looking too up of me fighting one more time this year."

Luton 1-0 Wimbledon: Ryan Johnson own goal condemns Dons to defeat on League One return
Luton Town made a winning start to the 2025-26 League One campaign on Friday night after a late Ryan Johnson own goal handed them a 1-0 win over Wimbledon. The Hatters were not at their best, but were gifted three points by Johnson's 85th-minute gaffe. Nahki Wells lofted a ball into the box from range, aiming for the run of Cauley Woodrow, but the backpedalling Johnson badly misjudged his clearance, glancing a looping header into his own net. With just five minutes left to play, there was not enough time for the Wombles to respond. There are positives to take back to Plough Lane, though. They limited the hosts to just six shots on the night, but managed just two themselves, neither of which were on target. It is not an unfamiliar problem for Johnnie Jackson's side, who scored the second-fewest goals of any top-ten finisher in League Two last season. 'I'm gutted for the players and the supporters,said Jackson, cutting a downcast figure at the final whistle. 'To lose the game in that manner is cruel.' He was quick to absolve Johnson of any blame, though: '[Johnson] has to go and put his head on it. It can land on top of the bar, go over, but it is just one of those things. It goes in, and it is a horrible way to lose.' Luton have plenty riding on this campaign after suffering back-to-back relegations, tumbling from the Premier League to the third tier, and will be grateful for a slice of luck in their season opener. But Hatters boss Matt Bloomfield acknowledged at full-time that there was plenty of room for improvement. 'We are an evolving group, adding lots of bodies,' he said. 'We are on the journey to the final product but we are not there yet, I think that's obvious. 'There's lots in my mind right now, but I am pleased to get off to a winning start.' Luton have brought in no less than 10 new faces this summer, and announced an eleventh ahead of kick-off with the surprise unveiling of Swansea's Jerry Yates, who hit ten Championship goals last season while on loan at Derby County. 'It has been a tough one to get over the line, let me assure you,' Bloomfield laughed. 'We had to work really hard on it. 'I am complimentary of the boys we already have, but if we can add that pace and power, grit and determination which I think he brings, the way he presses, we are really pleased to get him through the door.' Luton face Peterborough next time out as they look to extend their winning form, while Wimbledon will hope to get their first points on the board as they host Lincoln City.
