Just watching a programme about the introduction of foreign players to Britain. Got me thinking...who is the best foreign player to play for Preston North End?

Don’t forget Saville was from the USA

He was brilliant, there are players that kiss the badge and stuff and see it as part of their job, with Andy Saville you just got the feeling that when he scored a goal he empathised with the fans and he really wanted to share it with them.

wiki says saville was born in hull, but i was more interested to notice he only played 56 times for north end, i cant really remember why he ended up leaving someone remind me?
 
I would like to add Alan Kelly senior, he was of high quality, he put in the time and was PNE through and through, on top of that he produced a heir who didn’t do to bad for the club also, the Kelly clan are legends of our club.

I guess that moving up a league and the fact he would have been 33ish ?

Yarkshire is probably a foreign country anyway! 🤔😂
