[Albion] Tenuous links to Preston to further your claim to be a loyal supporter tonight - for 90 mi

John Inman was born in Preston and I always enjoyed his discussion of Mrs Slocombe's pussy on 70's rib-tickling comedy Are You Being Served.

Come on you Lillywhites!

I've been waiting years for this thread, and it's finally arrived, to give me my Andy Warhol moment.....

I played at Deepdale back in 1992 when it had the plastic pitch. It was a charity football match under floodlights, and we won the game 4-3. I scored a hatrick that night.

What made it extra special is that it was my only EVER perfect hatrick, left foot, right foot, header, in the correct order.

Therefore, Preston will be more likely to win tonight.......

I was Motherwell fan growing up, still am, hence my knowledge of Jamie Murphy's early career.

One of Jamie's team mates who played on the opposite wing to Jamie, Chris Humphrey, currently plays for Preston

I was the barman at Shades who had the ''ere chief, you got change for the fag machine' moment with Lawro, Brighton and former Preston legend, way back when. I hope the Lillywhites are smokin' tonight.

I suggest you get tooled up first.
That can get a bit 'tasty' if you know what I mean.

I was one of the people who were absolutely pissed off when some female tosser stole a boy's Preston kit signed by Jermain Beckford after the play off final.

And for that reason, come on you Lilywhites!

Thanks for the 'heads-up'. I've got some fingerless gloves for the knitting, and a copy of ENREST anecdotes (volume 2, the early onset dementia years), to help me with the natter. Any other tips gratefully received.

I once visited Prestonpans. Which is nowhere near Preston.

Blu-Tack in South Africa is known as Prestik. Which has Prest in it, which are the first 5 letters of Preston.

Come on you Lillywhites!
