Harry Redknapp takes charge of his 100th London derby this weekend as QPR play West Ham at Upton Park.
With that total Redknapp joins an illustrious list of names to have managed in London derbies, though he remains a few short of Arsene Wenger.
Here, Sportsmail looks at some of Harry's highlights, lowlights and the top 10 London-based managers and their derby records.

HARRY REDKNAPP:? FIVE DERBIES TO REMEMBER
West Ham 4-3 Tottenham (February 24, 1997)
After falling behind to Teddy Sheringham?s header, Julian Dicks and Paul Kitson scored two goals in two minutes for West Ham. In ferocious winds, Darren Anderton did well to equalise with a lob before goals from John Hartson and David Howells took the score to 3-3.
When Hartson won a controversial penalty, Dicks smashed it home to seal West Ham?s first win in nine games and spark a relegation escape.

West Ham 5-0 Charlton (December 26, 2000)
Harry?s Hammers gave the home crowd the perfect Christmas present when they smashed five past Charlton on Boxing Day 2000. Richard Rufus started the scoring with an own goal, deflecting in Paolo di Canio?s backheel.
Frederic Kanoute added a second before Frank Lampard scored the third before half time. A sensational 25-yard volley from Trevor Sinclair and a second Kanoute goal finally buried Alan Curbishley?s Charlton.
Arsenal 4-4 Tottenham (October 29, 2008)
In only his second game in charge at relegation-threatened Tottenham, Redknapp?s side were involved in one of the great north London derbies.
David Bentley?s outrageous 40-yard lob gave Spurs the lead before Mikael Silvestre, William Gallas and Emmanuel Adebayor put Arsenal in front. Darren Bent grabbed one back only for Robin Van Persie to restore the two goal cushion before last-gasp goals from Jermaine Jenas and Aaron Lennon levelled the match.
Arsenal 2-3 Tottenham (November 20, 2010)
Redknapp masterminded Tottenham?s first away win at Arsenal in 17 years after a remarkable comeback. Samir Nasri and Marouane Chamakh sent Arsenal in at the break with a comfortable lead before Gareth Bale?s cool finish and a Rafael van der Vaart penalty levelled the score.
And with just five minutes left, Younes Kaboul headed in from a van der Vaart free kick to give Spurs the win.

Chelsea 0-1 QPR (January 2, 2013)
Joining bottom of the table QPR in November, Redknapp oversaw Rangers? first away win in a Premier League London derby since 1995, and their first top-flight win at Stamford Bridge since 1979.
Shaun Wright-Phillips scored a late winner from the edge of the box and, though QPR remained bottom, the win gave Rangers some hope in their relegation battle.

AND FIVE TO FORGET?
Arsenal 4-0 West Ham (September 24, 1997)
In their first double-winning season under Arsene Wenger, Arsenal blew away West Ham at Highbury with four goals before half time. Dennis Bergkamp opened the scoring before Ian Wright scored either side of a Marc Overmars double.
Charlton 4-2 West Ham (October 24, 1998)
Richard Rufus and Eyal Berkovic twice gave Redknapp?s West Ham the lead at The Valley and the Hammers went in at half-time 2-1 up. But, after Danny Mills equalised, late goals from Andy Hunt and Neil Redfearn saw Charlton claim the win. Despite the defeat, West Ham went on to finish 5th while Charlton were relegated.

West Ham 3-4 Wimbledon (September 9, 1998)
A John Hartson goal and two from Ian Wright put West Ham 3-0 up inside the first 30 minutes of the match, but two goals from Marcus Gayle, one from Jason Euell and an 81st minute winner from Efan Ekoku sealed a remarkable Dons comeback.
Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham (April 30, 2011)
Two controversial Chelsea goals effectively ended Redknapp?s hopes of leading Spurs to successive Champions League qualification. Sandro?s spectacular half-volley gave Tottenham the lead but Chelsea equalised when error-prone goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes spilled a Frank Lampard shot, even though replays suggested the ball had not crossed the line.
Salomon Kalou added insult to injury when he scored the winner a minute from time, but did so while offside.
Arsenal 5-2 Tottenham (February 26, 2012)
Spurs looked on course to extend the gap between them and fourth-placed Arsenal to 13 when Louis Saha and Emmanuel Adebayor gave them a 2-0 lead. But Bacary Sagna and Robin Van Persie ensured Arsenal went in at half time level before Tomas Rosicky and two goals from Theo Walcott sealed an emphatic win.
After this result, Spurs? season collapsed and, though they finished fourth, they missed out on Champions League qualification when Chelsea won the cup.
