Club History & Fan Culture

Preston North End was founded in 1880 and quickly became one of the first professional clubs in England. The team earned the nickname “The Lilywhites” because of its classic white kit. In 1888‑89 the club won the first league title and the FA Cup without losing a single match – a feat still talked about today.

Legendary players like Tom Finney and more recent stars such as Joe Garner have left a lasting imprint on the club. Their stories are a big part of why fans feel a deep connection to the team. You can read detailed player profiles in the archive section of this site.

Fan culture is alive in Preston’s city centre. The Deepdale Road area hosts weekly meet‑ups where supporters discuss tactics, share memorabilia and plan match‑day trips. If you’re new to the community, just show up and introduce yourself – everyone is friendly and happy to help you find a seat at the next game.

Beyond match days, the club runs youth coaching clinics and charity events. Volunteering at these events is a great way to meet other fans and give back to the local community. The club’s official website lists upcoming volunteer opportunities and contact details for the fan liaison officer.
