Description

The Preston North End Miscellany – a book on the Lilywhites like no other, packed with facts, stats, trivia, stories and legend. From the days of Tom Finney to the management of Darren Ferguson – from the FA Cup triumphs and league titles of yesteryear to the man-mountain that is Jon Parkin, The Preston North End Miscellany is the ultimate book of trivia on the club and a treasure trove of information that you can dip in and out of at your leisure. A book that will make you smile, laugh out loud, sigh and reflect with hundreds of stories about why this club remains one of the best in the world, despite an absence from the top-flight stretching back . . . well, let’s look forward instead of behind! A book no self-respecting PNE fan should be without.
