The One And Only / 3

4 / The One And Only

Welcome back to Deepdale for this afternoon’s 

game against Norwich City. 

We had a brilliant 

ending to the match 

here on Tuesday 

night against 

Huddersfield Town, which everyone 

was delighted with. 

The games come thick and fast and I 

thought the lads were maybe a bit flat in 

the first half so we asked for more and 

they definitely gave us that. 

PP 

It’s three fantastic goals from Milly which 

secured the three points and I was very 

pleased seeing him walk off with the match 

ball because he’s worked so hard. 

I think it showed the togetherness and 

belief of this group as well, because it can 

be hard when you’re playing every few 

days and you’re missing people through 

injuries, but there’s no time to feel sorry 

for yourselves. 

Likewise, there wasn’t much time to 

celebrate that win because straight away 

“We need you 

to be loud and 

proud for us 

again today” 

our heads were in an even more important 

game against Norwich. 

We know they’re a fantastic team and 

they’re going well in the league. They’ve got 

some brilliant players, but as always it’s 

about controlling the things we can. 

If we can perform to the levels which we’ve 

seen multiple times here at Deepdale so 

far this season, we give ourselves the best 

possible chance of getting a result. 

We need you to be loud and proud for us 

again today, because anything you can give 

the lads can only help us on the pitch. 

Enjoy the game.

Ched 

Evans 

PP 

Ready to play his part. 


It’s not been a 12 months which 

Ched Evans will not particularly 

want to remember. First, a 

potentially life-changing injury 

which led to him being a step away 

from paralysis, and then – after a 

heroic return – another injury to 

leave him sidelined. 

There’s certainly no moping or 

feeling sorry for himself, though. An 

experienced pro, Ched calls it “just one 

of those things a footballer has to go 

through”. 

Now, though, he’s back fit, feeling 

strong, and ready to help the team in 

whatever way he can for the final part 

of what could be a thrilling end to the 

Sky Bet Championship campaign. 

Ched said: “The objective is to win every 

game, clearly. If only it was that easy in 

this league. 

“I think we’ve got the potential to win 

12 / The One And Only 

every game. It’s just down to us now. 

We can’t rely on other teams. 

“It’s about taking each game as it comes 

and taking the three points for us to 

have any chance of getting into the 

Play-Offs.” 

Every result between now and the end 

of the season will of course have a say 

on where North End find themselves 

come the final day, but today feels like 

a big one. 

With Norwich City 

currently occupying that 

final Play-Off spot, which 

PNE and a number of 

teams want to take off 

them, a positive result 

could make the top six a 

very realistic prospect. 

Ched said: “They’ll be 

under pressure as well 

to keep their position 

in the table so hopefully that plays in 

our favour. 

“You’ve seen the lads at home. We’ve 

made it a tough place to come to and 

it’ll be a long trip for them and hopefully 

we can get the win to put us in a great 

position. 

“It’s not going to be an easy game by 

any means but if we do what we can do 

and turn up – every single one of us –

we’ll give ourselves the best chance of 

winning.” 

In facing the Canaries, Ched is coming 

up against the side where he had his 

first real taste of what men’s football 

is all about. 

The striker made his professional debut 

for Manchester City in September 2007 

against Norwich City, and clearly his 

cameo from the bench caught the eye of 

opposition boss Glenn Roeder. 

Soon, Ched was heading on loan to 

East Anglia for what ended up being a 

successful first experience of the senior 

game – going on to score ten goals in 28 

matches as a teenager. 

“Having that experience going out and 

doing well was mega for me, both on 

a personal level and professionally,” 

explained Ched. 

“It showed me what it really means to 

win. Before that, I was playing reserve 

games and nothing really mattered. 

“You step into the professional game 

and suddenly everything matters. It’s 

people’s livelihoods and jobs, so to get 

that experience at such a young age was 

vital for me.” 

While his football education was 

important, the spell with the Canaries 

also taught him a lot off the pitch, having 

spent time initially in a hotel before 

having a house to himself, away from 

family and friends. 

In a location he loved and getting the 

chance to regularly play in front of 

average crowds of 25,000, it’s a time of 

his career he remembers fondly. 

He reminisced: “I absolutely loved being 

there. You can just tell how much it 

means to the fans down there. 

“It was a surreal experience at that 

age and I learned a lot. It’s funny, I 

remember negotiating a contract with 

PP 

Glenn Roeder and I thought I’d won 

the jackpot because I got a few extra 

hundred quid a week. 

“I was over the moon with it, not 

realising what some of the other players 

were on. 

“It was fun, and then when the business 

end starts coming into it you start 

realising how important it is to win 

games in this league.” 

Unfortunately, due to splintered 

cartilage in his kneecap, Ched hasn’t 

been able to experience that three-point 

feeling on the pitch this calendar year. 

What his time out has done, though, is 

give him chance to better prepare for 

life after playing football – albeit, he 

feels that’s still a few years away. 

The forward’s been busy working on 

his A Licence with the FA, and having 

been taken out of the usual day-to-day 

routine of training and playing, he’s 


SHOP NOW

“I’m 

feeling 

good 

again in 

training 

and now 

I’m back 

for the 

final 

push” 

been able to see a different side to the 

game. 

Ched said: “I think it’s been a bit of an 

eye opener really. As a footballer, you 

just turn up to work and everything is 

just kind of in place for you. 

PP 

“Actually, the work that goes into 

everything behind the scenes 

is constructive, it’s planned, it’s 

methodicial, and it’s time and effort. 

“Doing my coaching badges, I’ve really 

seen what goes into making everything 

happen and that’s been a really good 

experience. 

“I’m hoping I should have my A Licence 

in the summer, and I’ve got a few 

sessions still to put on with the Academy 

before then which I’m really looking 

forward to. 

“The staff there and here have been 

great with me. Marshy [Mike Marsh] 

has helped me. The analysts have helped 

me. The gaffer has helped me, which I’m 

grateful for. 

“Ultimately, that’s the next stage in my 

career and building up to it now while 

I’m still playing is probably the best thing 

I can do for if and when I do go into it.” 

That’s something for further down the 

line, though, with Ched’s mind still fully 

on influencing things on the pitch as 

a player. 

“By no means am I saying I’m done with 

playing,” he said. “I feel good. My body 

feels good, other than a couple of nonfootballing 

injuries which I’ve had. 

“Obviously it has been a tough season 

with regards to my neck, coming back, 

and then having my knee problem. 

“Now that’s been cleaned out, though, 

and I’m feeling good again in training 

and now I’m back for the final push.”

The Canaries 

norwich 

city 

The penultimate home game of the season sees Norwich City make the long journey 

to Deepdale. David Wagner’s side recently beat fellow promotion pushers and local 

rivals Ipswich Town, adding real solidity to their Play-Off bid. Earlier this season, 

the return fixture ended in a 0-0 draw, which was the last time the East Anglian 

team failed to score at Carrow Road. With both North End and Norwich wanting to 

make the top six, today’s result could have a big say on who makes the cut.

Five-Year 

Record 

Modern- 

Day Hero 

A lethal forward who proved himself 

at the highest level, Teemu Pukki 

played a vital role in both of Norwich 

City’s recent Championship titles. 

The forward scored 88 goals and 

provided a further 29 assists for 

the Canaries in just over 200 games. 

At the peak of his powers he was 

amongst the country’s most lethal 

finishers, claiming the Premier 

League Player of the Month award in 

August 2019. 

In Case 

You Didn’t 

Know 

Norwich have taken part in European 

competition just once – reaching 

the third round of the UEFA Cup in 

1993/94, however they achieved a 

feat unmatched by any other club in 

the country. Before moving to the 

Allianz Arena, Bavarian giants Bayern 

Munich played at the Olympic Stadium 

and the Canaries are the only British 

side to win at the ground. The game 

ended 2-1, with Jeremy Goss and 

Mark Bowen scoring the goals for 

Norwich.

To Look 

Out for 

Angus Gunn 

Goalkeeper 

Age: 28 

Nationality: Scottish 

A key component in Norwich City’s recent form, 

Angus Gunn has sent his clean sheet tally into 

double figures this season. 

Son of Norwich City Hall of Fame ‘keeper 

Bryan, Gunn began his career as a forward for 

Norwich's U8s before becoming a goalkeeper and 

representing the youth teams until 2011, when he 

moved to Manchester City. 

After time with Stoke City and Southampton, 

which provided him with Premier League 

experience, Gunn returned to East Anglia in 2021. 

He switched his allegiance to Scotland last year 

and made his debut against Cyprus in a EURO 2024 

qualifying victory, and he’ll hope to play a part at 

this summer’s tournament. 

Shane Duffy 

Defender 

Age: 32 

Nationality: Irish 

Shane Duffy arrived at Carrow Road upon the 

expiration of his contract at Premier League club 

Fulham. 

The centre half has consistently shown 

solid performances upon his return to the 

Championship, after spending six years with 

Brighton & Hove Albion. 

He achieved promotion to the Premier League 

at the end of his first season with the Seagulls, 

experience that the defender now brings to the 

Norwich dressing room. 

With three points invaluably important for both 

sides today, a cool, calm and collected head in 

defence could well make the difference.

Gabriel Sara 

Midfielder 

Age: 24 

Nationality: Brazilian 

Swapping São Paulo for Norwich in 2022, Gabriel 

Sara has been instrumental in the Canaries’ 

midfield this term. 

The Brazilian has hit double figures in both goals 

and assists already for Norwich, an extremely 

impressive feat. 

In his first season in English football, he was 

named as Norwich City's Player of the Season, 

picking up the Barry Butler Memorial Trophy 

following a supporter vote. 

Arguably David Wagner’s stand-out player, 

Sara will be one to look out for at Deepdale this 

afternoon.

Josh Sargent 

striker 

Age: 24 

Nationality: American 

Josh Sargent may have had a slow start to life 

in England when he first made the move from 

Werder Bremen in 2021, but there can be no 

doubts surrounding the forward’s credentials 

now. 

At the time of writing, the USMNT star has a goalto-game 

ratio in the Championship of 0.87; netting 

almost every time he plays. This campaign has 

already seen the striker surpass his tally from 

last season in just over half the appearances. 

On the international stage, he became the 

youngest player to score for the United States 

at the FIFA U20 World Cup at the age of 17 in May 

2017.

the boss: 

David Wagner 

Age: 52 

Nationality: German-American 

The mastermind behind Huddersfield Town’s promotion 

to the Premier League, disciple of Jürgen Klopp and 

now the head coach of Norwich City, David Wagner 

brings a unique energy to management in the 

Championship. 

It was the aforementioned Klopp who oversaw 

Wagner’s first steps in management, as the Frankfurtborn, 

former USMNT striker was given the role as head 

coach of Borussia Dortmund 2. 

Wagner exited the role upon Klopp’s appointment at 

Liverpool and would shortly make his own move to 

England, one division lower, to join Huddersfield Town. 

A brilliant man-manager, a trait that would’ve been 

helped in no small part by Klopp, Wagner created a 

tight group bond during his time with The Terriers, 

something that paid dividends during his second season 

with the club. 

Against the odds, Wagner led Huddersfield Town to the 

Premier League for the first time, beating Reading in 

the Play-Off final on penalties and would somehow go 

on to achieve a greater feat – keeping the side in the 

top flight. 

However, the following January saw Town sitting 

bottom of the pile, eight points off safety and alas, 

Wagner saw his contract terminated. 

Things would get worse for the coach in his next role, 

back in Germany with Schalke 04. 18 league games 

without a win saw Wagner sacked early in the 2020/21 

season, which would eventually end with the club 

relegated to Bundesliga.2. 

After time in Switzerland with Young Boys, Wagner was 

appointed head coach of Norwich City in January 2023, 

with his first game in charge here at Deepdale, with the 

Canaries running out 4-0 winners.

Kicks Cup 

Regional 

Qualifying 

Tournament 

On 4th April, Bamber Bridge 

Leisure Centre played host to one 

of the North West Premier League 

Kicks Cup Regional Qualifying 

Tournaments. 

The event included mixed and girl’s U16 

teams representing nine community club 

organisations (CCOs), including Preston North 

End, Manchester City, Manchester United, among 

others. 

The Premier League trophy was at the venue along 

with Azeem Amir, who put on an engaging workshop 

on blind football for the participants. Azeem 

represents England and Great Britain Men's Blind 

Football Teams and was recently involved in the new 

England kit launch alongside Harry Kane, Lauren 

James, Ella Toone, Phil Foden and other 

stars. 

PNECET staff members, Mo and Munira, led a 

workshop shedding light on Ramadan, promoting 

inclusivity and understanding during the holy 

month. Their session aimed to foster a culture of 

support be it on the field, at work, or in everyday 

life, for those who were fasting during Ramadan. 

We also welcomed Preston North End Academy and 

first team players, Cole McGhee, Kacper Pasiek, 

Jack Whatmough and Liam Millar, who all came out 

in solidarity with the teams representing PNECET 

and PNEFC. 

Community Engagement Coordinator and the person 

who oversees delivery of our Premier League Kicks 

sessions here at PNECET, Alistair White, expressed 

his satisfaction at the success of the day, saying: 

"The Premier League Kicks Cup Regional Qualifying 

Tournament was a fantastic showcase of talent and 

camaraderie. It was lovely to see young players 

from various CCOs coming together to compete, 

learn from each other and enjoy football with a 

smile on their faces.”

Event 

During March, two of our team here at the Trust attended 

a special Premier League Changemakers event at the 

National Football Museum in Manchester, with two students 

from Preston Muslim Girls High School. 

The day saw 12 to 15-year-olds from

together to explore gender equality 

and opportunities for women within 

the football industry. It was a day 

spent celebrating female leadership, 

as part of the Premier League’s 

commitment to supporting women and 

girls. 

Throughout the day, there were three 

workshops to help girls and young 

women to develop their personal 

skills, confidence and to build positive 

attitudes for leadership.

1963/64 

So near, yet so far! 

This series shows just how close Preston North End came to winning both 

promotion and the FA Cup final. By Ian Rigby and Mike Payne. 

Matchday 51 

The 1964 FA 

Cup final at 

Wembley 

Having narrowly lost out on 

promotion, the team had to put 

their disappointments behind them 

and concentrate on bringing the FA 

Cup back home to Deepdale for the 

first time since 1938. In front of a 

full capacity Wembley, Alex Dawson 

kicked off to Alan Spavin who had his 

sleeves rolled up straight from the 

start of this 83rd FA Cup final. North 

End were not seen to be overawed 

with the occasion, in fact they came 

out of the traps the quicker and more 

eager of the two teams. Spavin and 

the proud skipper, Nobby Lawton, 

were prompting the forwards with 

both wingers, Dave Wilson and Dougie 

Holden prominent. 17-year-old Howard 

Kendall was showing no nerves at all 

and it was he who started the move 

that led to the opening goal after ten 

minutes of play. Dawson received the 

orange ball and put in a terrific shot. 

The Hammers’ goalkeeper Jim Standen 

could only parry his effort and saw it 

hover close to the goal-line, only for 

Holden to react the quickest and prod 

the ball home from very close range 


leaving John Bond in his wake. Despite 

West Ham looking nervous and edgy, 

they equalised within a minute. Bobby 

Moore pushed forward and gave a 

pin-point pass to 18-year-old winger 

John Sissons. A quick one-two with 

Johnny Byrne and it was 1-1, sending 

the London fans into song, singing 

‘I’m forever blowing bubbles’. It was 

reported that North End were playing 

entertaining football, the old Scottish 

style of play, with ground passes 

moving sweetly from man to man. West 

Ham could have taken the lead on 34 

minutes, but Alan Kelly saved brilliantly 

from Geoff Hurst. Soon afterwards, 

Kendall – breaking forward once again 

– had a shot deflected for a corner off 

Moore. The corner, taken by Wilson, 

was met sweetly by Dawson’s head and 

the underdogs fully deserved their 

2-1 half-time lead. West Ham changed 

their tactics in the second half as 

Lawton and Spavin were shadowed 

much more closely. The London-based 

team came more into the game and 

within seven minutes of the restart 

equalised the game. Kelly saved a 

good header from Ken Brown but 

the ball went to Hurst who headed it 

goalwards. Kelly got his hands to his 

effort as it clattered off the underside 

of the crossbar, but Kelly who hurt 

his lower back could only help the ball 

over the line. Both teams had chances 

after this and the thrilling game looked 

as if it would go into extra-time, but 

two minutes into injury-time North End 

suffered the cruellest of blows when 

the top-flight team scored the winner 

with a Ronnie Boyce header from a 

Peter Brabrook centre. North End had 

contributed to a great final but sadly 

had to collect runners-up medals.

GOALSCORING 

IS AN ART! 

THE LEADING GOALSCORERS IN 

PRESTON NORTH END’S HISTORY 

By Mike Payne and Ian Rigby 

In this series through the season 

we look at the art of goalscoring 

and celebrate the top 30 players 

who lead the North End scoring 

charts. The style, the goals and the 

players; career details. Sir Tom 

Finney will conclude the series, as he 

is No. 1 in every sense. 

In our last home programme, against 

Huddersfield Town, the player featured 

was Dennis Hatsell, who finished on 58 

goals for North End. However, there 

was one other player who finished on 

that total so it is only fair that I feature 

him today. RICHARD CRESSWELL 

– a born and bred Yorkshireman – 

crossed the Pennines in March 2001 to 


become a big favourite in Lancashire. 

Actually, that is not strictly true as 

he signed for Preston North End, 

initially on a loan deal, from Leicester 

City, where Cresswell had been since 

September 2000. The former York City 

and Sheffield Wednesday forward was 

not the most prolific of goalscorers 

for a striker at the time, but he was 

a grafter and he quickly won the fans 

over at Deepdale by scoring on his 

debut against Wolves, immediately 

after joining the club. Manager David 

Moyes took PNE to within one game 

of the Premiership that year, but they 

lost the final in the Millenium Stadium 

to Bolton Wanderers. Cresswell was 

in North End’s team that day and after 

the season ended Moyes decided 

to arrange a permanent deal for 

the player, paying £500,000 for his 

signature. It was money well spent 

and gave us a player that the fans 

really appreciated. His drive and 

energy and sheer hard work won 

them over despite his lack of goals in 

those early Deepdale days. To say he 

was unlucky not to score more was 

an understatement, as he often hit the 

woodwork, forced amazing saves out 

of the ‘keepers, all the time refusing to 

give up in his quest for more goals. He 

helped North End reach the final of the 

Play-Offs. After his full transfer was 

sorted, he had a spell as a super sub, 

often coming on to create or score 

goals himself. Then later, he forged 

excellent partnerships with the likes 

of Johnny Macken, David Healy and 

later on with David Nugent. Not only 

that, the goals started to flow, making 

him leading scorer over the next two 

seasons. One big turning point came 

in a match at home to Crystal Palace 

where his all-round display earned this 

accolade from the LEP reporter, “The 

dirtiest shirt on the pitch proved what 

a muddy marvel Richard Cresswell is 

turning out to be. His heavily-soiled

PP 

white jersey was graphic proof 

that this wasn’t just an afternoon 

of popping up in the right place at 

the right time to grab the headlines. 

Cresswell’s commanding performance 

was worthy of a standing ovation for 

effort alone, and as he left the pitch 

the crowd rose to North End’s latest 

star.” That just shows what a hardworking 

player Cresswell was and 

on New Year’s Day in 2005 Cresswell 

scored a hat-trick in a 3-2 home 

win against Sunderland. His other 

hat-trick, ironically, came at former 

club Leicester in a League Cup tie. I bet 

that gave him a big thrill. A fine player, 

and his son, Charlie, is now a Leeds 

United player.. 

PNE Appearances: 

League 165+23 (49) 

FA Cup 2+1 (3) 

League Cup 8+2 (5) 

Play-Offs 4+2 (1) 

Total 

179+28 (58 goals) 

It is worth noting that there 

are a further nine players 

that have topped 50 goals for 

the Deepdale club and here 

are those names, with their 

goal tallies. Daniel Johnson, 

Jimmy Dougal, Brian Godfrey 

and Joe Garner, each with 

57 goals, John Thomas (55), 

Willie McIntosh (54), Frank 

Becton and Alex James (53 

each), and finally Alex Reid 

with 50. As for the next to 

join this list, well, there is 

one man who is closing in 

on yet another milestone for 

his club, our skipper Alan 

Browne. As I write this article 

he is currently just four away 

from that magic 50 mark on 

46 goals. Alan still has a fair 

way to go to catch our next 

featured subject in this series, 

though. In the final matchday 

programme, as promised all 

season, the man himself will be 

featured, SIR TOM FINNEY. His 

total? All will be revealed, so 

be sure and buy a programme 

from that Leicester City match!

By Ijeoma Osadebe 

Preston North End U19s extended 

their unbeaten start to 2024 with 

an impressive 4-1 comeback victory 

away to Shrewsbury Town. 

The hosts, who won their three games 

in February without conceding, took 

the lead early on through Luca Whitney, 

but PNE were soon level through 

Charlie Goldsmith. 

Strikes from Felipe Rodriguez-Gentile 

and Theo Mawene then gave North End 

a two-goal lead at the break, before 

Rodriguez-Gentile scored his second of 

the day in the 78th minute. 

League leaders PNE had an opportunity 

to open the scoring in the eighth 

minute after good work from 

Goldsmith, but a home defender 

ensured his pass didn’t reach 

Rodriguez-Gentile. 

PP 

received the ball from Cole McGhee 

and fired past the goalkeeper from 

distance. 

Ayden Garrigan came on at half-time 

and he so nearly had a goal of his 

own just two minutes into the second 

period, only to see his effort cleared 

off the line, and Ellis Horan’s follow-up 

was then deflected wide. 

A couple of Mawene efforts came close 

to extending North End’s advantage 

Salop then went in front in the 17th before the fourth did arrive in the 78th 

minute as a ball played in behind the minute, as Rodriguez-Gentile picked up 

North End defence reached Whitney, the ball on the halfway line and broke 

and he lifted it over Tommy Davis. forward to slot past the goalkeeper
