I really enjoyed the parade at half time last night -did everyone notice how chuffed mark Rankine was at the reception he got. Also, I was pleased at the reception Big Sam got-think he was too.

I was hoping that Alex Bruce would be in attendance - who would be in your choice of legends?

Disappointed they weren't there, but thought it was great anyway! Least Rankine was there! 😀

All i noticed is that Shabba spent the entire time on the pitch explaining to one of the other ex players how exactly he scored that goal against Brum!!! He was pointing and gesturing towards that end of the pitch and must have been telling the other guy about THE NIGHT!!!!!!

MARK RANKINE = LEGEND!!!!

Where were handsome Harry Holdcroft? Ooooh he were a lovely lad.

I wish I'd been able to applaud more of the Old Boys, but I was up and down the stairs between sips of 'beer'.
It's so uncivilised that I'm a criminal clapping them if I have a beer with me.
But once the OBs were all round the centre circle, how nice it must have been to hear us all chanting, "PNE - PNE -PNE".
Big Fat Sam left us with a grudge about the manger's position that he's borne with him for years. It's been a difficult week for him, and yet he put his face on show for PNE in front of the national media, and got a good response. I imagine that the invite went to Sam well before the Panorama programme, and he took the olive branch for the Pavilion and good on him, and good on us for the cheers he got.
Mind you, bearing in mind the FEITCTAJ attidude of Bernard Manning, I wonder if BFS and his ratchet screwdriver only came back to Deepdale last night knowing that is was his last chance to liberate a brown paper bag from under the players' lounge floorboards, being the proceeds from a proposterous, yet successful bet on the 4-5 FA Cup reverse to Bradford.

I will never tire of stories of that cup tie with Bradford. The popular Chapman departs, Allardyce takes over a very medicore team and his first game is away in the FA Cup at Valley Parade. Two years after his last pro game, Big Sam picks himself in defence (plus Deniol Graham - outstanding debutant) and leads the Lilywhites to the best 1-1 draw ever. Jewell scores for them on 89, Lee Fowler smashes home an injury time free-kick equaliser, followed by a particularly good pitch invasion. We took 1200+ that day which was a decent following in those days and we sung our hearts out from start to finish. We lost the replay 5-4, like Tark said, but the replay was never going to top that magical day in West Yorks. Good night.

I bet he wishes he'd got that in the first few years of his time at Deepdale.

Re: Former player

Moyes and Big Sam turned up!!

But where was Billy? (according to himself he was 1 of our most successful managers)
 
Re: Former player

I was not able attend the game on friay night due to being on holiday and I was gutted to hear that some legends graced the pitch again for the pavillion but most of all I was annoyed that I missed Rankine's return as he is one of my favorite players that has played for preston.

Has anyone at all got any pictures of the night or inparticular any of just Rankine from Friday it would be much appreciated.
