West Ham boss David Moyes has paid tribute to captain Mark Noble as he prepares to make his 400th appearance for the club.
Noble will reach the mark on Sunday against Leicester City.
Moyes said: "It is great, to be at one club and play 400 Premier League games takes some doing.
"When you look at how many years you have to be there and the consistency you have got to have, and injuries as well play a part in players' careers.
"It's a great achievement and he has reached an awful lot of milestones at West Ham because of his loyalty and his consistency as a player and we're enjoying him at the moment."
Noble might be underrated by some Premier League fans, having never played for England or one of the bigger clubs.
But Moyes added: "I don't think there is anybody, certainly not in our business, who would ever question how great a career Mark Noble has had.
"The loyalty, the number of games he has played, the years he has been at the club.
"I think he might not be mentioned in that group of players because they have won European Cups and Premier League titles, but you cannot question Mark Noble's loyalty, his consistency, and his longevity which is a big thing in football, especially at one club.
"I think he should be mentioned in and around those names but probably from a different perspective."
