Picture : Dougie Gray was the first !

First players to reach milestone wins

In addition to our yesterday's topic (ranking the players with the most matches won), this post reflects the history of achieving milestones in this category.
Cristiano Ronaldo was the first to reach the 800th victory in his career, and he, 3 years earlier, was also the first in history to reach the milestone of 700 victories.
Curiously, the two previous milestones (500 and 600) were also achieved for the first time by the same player. This hero is Dougie Gray, a Scottish defender who played for Glasgow Rangers throughout his long career (1925 to 1946).
As long as 76 years passed between the conquest of peaks 600 and 700.
All top-level matches for clubs, national teams and league selections are taken into account. 
In Dougie Gray's case, also included are wartime tournaments (Southern Football League, Summer Cup).
Details are in the table.
