'''Preston North End Football Club''' are an [[England|English]] professional [[football (soccer)|football]] club located in the Deepdale area of the city of [[Preston]], [[Lancashire]], currently playing in the second tier of English league football, [[Football League Championship|The Championship]]. They were the main founder member of the English Football League in [[1888 in football (soccer)|1888]] and were the first [[English football champions]]. |
|||
==History== |
|||
{{dablink|For more details on this topic, see [[History of Preston North End F.C.]]}} |
|||
In the past Preston were famously successful, being the first winners of "[[The Double]]" in English football. In [[1888-89 in English football|1888-89]] Preston became the first, and only, team to go throughout an entire season unbeaten in both the league and [[FA Cup]] — only [[Arsenal F.C.]], in [[2003-04 in English football|2003-04]], have managed to have an unbeaten season in the top division since. They were league champions again the following season, but have not won the title since. Their last major trophy was an [[FA Cup]] triumph in [[FA Cup Final 1938|1938]]. |
|||
Preston were relegated to the [[Football League Second Division|Second Division]] (currently the [[Football League Championship]]) in [[1961 in football (soccer)|1961]] and have not played in the top division since. They did reach the [[FA Cup]] final in [[FA Cup Final 1964|1964]], but lost to [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]]. |
|||
[[Bobby Charlton]], an [[England national football team|England]] [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] winner from 1966, was appointed Preston manager in 1973, but was unable to stop them from sliding into the [[Football League Third Division|Third Division]] in his first season and left after two years in charge. A brief respite in 1978 saw them win promotion back to the Second Division, but they went down after three seasons and in 1985 fell into the [[Football League Fourth Division|Fourth Division]] for the first time in their history. |
|||
[[Image:PrestonNorthEnd1888.jpg|thumb|300px|Preston North End in 1888-89, the first Football League champions, subsequently doing '[[The Double]]']] |
|||
In 1986, Preston finished second from bottom in the Fourth Division and only avoided dropping into the [[Football Conference|Gola League]] because the other [[Football League]] members voted in favour of the division's bottom four teams retaining their senior status. |
|||
The arrival of new manager [[John McGrath (footballer born 1938)|John McGrath]] saw Preston win promotion to the Third Division a year later, and they were still at this level when McGrath left in 1990. Veteran player [[Les Chapman]] took over as manager, but left in October 1992 to be replaced by [[John Beck (footballer)|John Beck]]. The 38-year-old Beck had only recently been sacked by [[Cambridge United F.C.|Cambridge United]], where he had achieved two successive promotions and come within a whisker of attaining a unique third. Beck was unable to save Preston from relegation from the [[1992-93 in English football|first season]] of the [[Football League Second Division|new Division Two]]. He endured two successive [[Football League Third Division|Division Three]] playoff final failures before quitting in 1995 to be replaced by his assistant [[Gary Peters (footballer)|Gary Peters]] |
|||
Peters guided Preston to Division Three title glory in [[1995-96 in English football|his first season]] as manager, and quit in February 1998 to be replaced by 34-year-old defender [[David Moyes]]. Preston quickly developed into Division Two promotion contenders under Moyes, reaching the [[1998-99 in English football|1998-99]] playoffs (losing to [[Gillingham F.C.|Gillingham]] in the semi-finals before finally being promoted as champions [[2000|a year later]]. They almost made it two promotions a row in 2001, but lost 3-0 to [[Bolton Wanderers F.C.|Bolton]] in the [[Football League Championship|Division One]] final. |
|||
Moyes left for [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] in March 2002 and was succeeded by former [[Scotland football team|Scottish national coach]] [[Craig Brown]]. Preston were little more than an unfashionable mid-table side during Brown's tenure, though they were never in any real danger of being relegated. He left in October 2004 to be succeeded by his assistant [[Billy Davies]]. |
|||
Davies guided Preston to the Championship playoff final in [[2004-05 in English football|his first season]] as manager, but they lost to West Ham United. They reached the playoffs again [[2006|the following year]], this time losing in the semi-finals. Davies then moved to [[Derby County F.C.|Derby]] and was replaced by [[Carlisle United F.C.|Carlisle]] boss [[Paul Simpson]], who has since carried on where Davies left off. Preston spent much of the [[2006-07 in English football|2006-07 season]] in the automatic promotion or playoff places, but finished just outside the top six despite a 1-0 victory over Birmingham City at [[Deepdale]] on the final day of the season. |
|||
On [[11 July]] [[2007]] David Nugent, one of the most highly rated players in Preston North End's history and the first to win an [[England national football team|England]] cap for some 50 years, left the club to join [[Portsmouth F.C.|Portsmouth]] for a reported transfer fee of £6,000,000. |
|||
On [[13 November]] [[2007]], manager [[Paul Simpson]] was sacked by chairman [[Derek Shaw]] after a horrendous start the Preston's Campaign. They currently sit 21st in [[Football League Championship|The Championship]], one place above the relegation zone |
|||
On [[20 November]] [[2007]], Everton assistant manager [[Alan Irvine (footballer born 1958)|Alan Irvine]] was appointed as Preston's new manager on a three and a half year deal. |
