There will be no room for emotion when Nigel Pearson returns to Sheffield Wednesday this afternoon, a club where he is still revered as a fantastic captain.
The Leicester City boss spent seven years Hillsborough and led them to three cup finals, winning the League Cup in 1991, and promotion to the top flight of English football.
However Pearson, who still lives in Sheffield, said he would not reflect on those achievements when he steps out at Hillsborough as he will be fully focused on masterminding City's challenge for another three points.
"You have to move on in life," said Pearson. "Positive memories you have are always there, but I have a job to do tomorrow and that is the most important thing.
"My affiliations with Wednesday obviously go back a long way because of my playing days but I have lived there for 25 years or so, which speaks volumes of what I think of Sheffield. But my job is to manage Leicester and that is my primary focus."
Wednesday are on a poor run of results and have won just twice in their last 14 games.
In contrast, City are in buoyant mood after their 6-0 demolition of Ipswich Town last Saturday, but Pearson said anyone who feels another victory is a forgone conclusion is mistaken.
"It is a big club and they have had a spell where they have had some disappointing results, but we have to go there with a positive mind-set," he said.
"We know what their strengths and weaknesses are but, as I always say, it is about what we do ourselves.
"When we are playing at our best we are a difficult team to beat and a difficult proposition to play against.
"We can't go there and expect it to be an easy game because it won't be. They are on their own patch and will want to get a positive result.
"The mood is very buoyant but it is tempered with a professionalism, which is important.
"It was great to get a result last week but there is also a recognition within the group that we have probably played better this season and not won."
City will be without David Nugent (neck) and Sean St Ledger (hamstring).
