Supporters Guide Preston North End Fc
PRESTON NORTH END FC PP SUPPORTERS GUIDE PNEFC, SIR TOM FINNEY WAY, DEEPDALE, PRESTON PR1 6RU WWW.PNE.COM WWW.MYPNE.COM 0344 856 1964 [email protected] PRESTON NORTH END FC WELCOME TO DEEPDALE GETTING TO KNOW US Welcome to Deepdale – the home of Preston North End Football Club, also known as the Lilywhites! Established in 1880, we are proud to be one of the founder members of the EFL and the first team to ever achieve the double, winning the league and the FA Cup in the first league season in 1888. This memorable season also saw North End go unbeaten in the league and the FA Cup, giving us the famous title ‘The Invincibles’. In recent years, North End were crowned third division champions in 1996 and second division champions in 2000. After nine Play-Off attempts across the second, third and fourth tiers, the Lilywhites secured victory at Wembley in 2015, back into the Championship. Several notable players have played for Preston North End over the years, including England legend Sir Tom Finney, Scottish defender and future Liverpool legend, Bill Shankly and the club’s record appearance maker and Republic of Ireland international goalkeeper, Alan Kelly senior. Modern heroes have included David Moyes, Kevin Kilbane, David Nugent and even England’s record outfield appearance maker and global superstar David Beckham! Simon Grayson is currently the manager looking to guide the Lilywhites to a second promotion under his reign, this time to the Premier League. Simon has been at the club since 2013, having previously managed Blackpool, Leeds United and Huddersfield Town. -
Lee Bowyer Talks Leeds United, with Jon Howe
Y PHONE RINGS at 10.42am. It’s Lee Bowyer. Of course. He immediately apologises for not answering when I rang at the pre-arranged time of 9.30am; when he dropped his two six- year-old kids off at school he realised he had to attend a Harvest Festival assembly. I gave a knowing laugh, having been caught short in the same situation on the school run a few times. And here I was, swapping stories with Lee Bowyer on the humdrum trials of being a parent to young kids. Two normal blokes with normal concerns. We were aligned in the everyday travails of life’s rich tapestry, and yet fifteen years ago Lee Bowyer was my favourite Leeds United player. In fact, he was my ‘last’ favourite Leeds United player. After Lee Bowyer left Leeds United in 2003, the Catchinghi emotional strain of putting all my faith in one player seemed futile. Plus, well, you’ve watched Leeds United over the last decade, haven’t you? The enduring and relentless echo of ‘L’Bowya, L’Bowya’ around Elland Road has left more of up with the a lasting impression than the same chant for the perhaps more exalted Tony Yeboah. Purely because it was in our songbook for longer. Not simply out of habit, but as a result of performance; for years, every game, without fail. He was that good. In 2015, can you imagine Running such a thing? Lee Bowyer has endured a lifetime of not being able to fully explain himself. I initially approached him to write his autobiography. -
Review of 2010/11 – Part 2 – Losing Their Way
Review of 2010/11 – Part 2 – Losing their way Leeds United’s return to the Championship had seen them exceed expectations, despite heavy defeats at home to Preston and Cardiff and an embarrassing 5-2 reverse at Barnsley. The sheen of beating table-topping QPR on 18 December had been dulled by losing two-goal leads against Leicester and Portsmouth, but as 2011 opened, Leeds were fourth in the table, level on 40 points with Cardiff and Swansea, with Rangers seven points clear of that pack. It was heady stuff after three years in the League One wilderness and supporters were hopeful of a real promotion push in the New Year. Andy O'Brien, pictured celebrating his goal against Hull City on 9 November, made his move to Elland Road permanent on New The positive mood was enhanced by the Year's Day announcement that Irish international centre-back Andy O’Brien, on loan from Bolton since 29 October, would make the move permanent. O’Brien, who represented himself in contract talks, commented: “The meeting with the chairman was something I will remember all my life. It was a bit like when I signed my first contract at Bradford with Geoffrey Richmond – that was entertaining as well. My Dad came in with me initially and he is a big bloke of around 20 stone. The chairman’s first words were, ‘We’ll sign the fat one instead.’ My Dad replied he had been on a diet for six weeks, to which the chairman said, ‘Well that isn't effing working, is it?’ Dad is quite quick-witted and said back, ‘Well I don’t know what your excuse is’. -

The Moment Before Everything's Spoiled
THE DEPARTING t was 10.00pm on a Tuesday night, and in- stead of winding down and maybe reading a book in bed, I was sat in Rob Holmes’s car in a queue on an access road outside the Riv- erside Stadium, Middlesbrough. We hadn’t moved for twenty minutes, morale was low, and I was wading through the many tweets THE MOMENT signalling the end of our sorry season. I had just watched a spirit-sapping 1-0 defeat which Ihad begun with a nervous and fragile Middlesbrough team retreating in the face of our, ultimately toothless, first half forays. Space and countless loose balls were available in midfield for us to seize upon, but instead BEFORE of playing on the Middlesbrough fans’ evaporating patience as their simple passes went into touch, we failed to capitalise and get a grip in midfield. Slowly, as Norris once more over-ran the ball in the act of introducing himself to its simple and accommodat- ing curvature, and as Brown simply ridded himself of EVERYTHING’S all responsibility for ‘possession’ at the very quickest opportunity, Middlesbrough gained confidence and a foothold in the game. By the start of the second half came when I finally lost faith in him. Everything that Woodgate et al were salaciously gobbling up the very was missing at Middlesbrough in our barren wasteland finest hoofball we had to offer and inevitably went on of a midfield was available to us in one player, but we to win the game. ‘couldn’t guarantee him a game.’ SPOILED The futile but very necessary post-mortem held in Yes, I had been to Hull and Barnsley, and suffered the car, as ‘Boro fans filed past elated at ending a run the home wins over Bolton and Bristol City, but I am of five straight defeats, centred on the aching chasm an incurable optimist sometimes where managers in midfield just crying out for somebody with vision, are concerned. -
Review of 2008/09 – Part 2 – Bouncing Back with Grayson
Review of 2008/09 – Part 2 – Bouncing back with Grayson The appointment of Simon Grayson as new Leeds United manager just before Christmas 2008 revived spirits at Elland Road after a lengthy losing run. The new man was delighted with the opportunity: "What I couldn't turn down was the chance to test myself ... The attraction for me is that I want to be the one who makes this club successful again ... Managers have come and gone and not been able to do that. I think I can. "This Leeds team are outside the Play Off positions and I'm not saying that we're going Simon Grayson at Elland Road after taking over as United manager in to win 10 on the trot like Blackpool did, but December 2008 it's always a possibility. That's why I'm not prepared to concede that automatic promotion has got away from us. "I told Karl (Oyston) straight away that I wanted to come. I think he knew that I'd give him that answer and so did everyone at Blackpool. From there it was down to the two clubs to sort things out, but there was no way I was going to let this opportunity pass me by ... I do wish it had been sorted in the manner I would have wanted after six good years there and that I'd walked away without any of this legal stuff going on above me, but these things happen in football. "The expectancy level at Leeds is higher than it is at a dozen clubs in the Championship and certainly every club in this division .. -
