Re: Most memorable..

My least memorable moment was when the third goal went in at Derby away a couple of seasons ago. I think we were 3-0 down and we'ed only been playing about 12 mins. I just completly lost the plot after that and the next thing i remember is being jump on but the more bizzare thing was whatching the mass exodus of Preston fans at half time. In all my time as a Preston fan i have never seen sceans like i witnessed that day at Derby.
 
Re: Most memorable..

surprised nobody has mentioned the thumping we gave coventry a few years back.last game of the season and that coventry prick ran on the pitch and tried to twat his own goalkeeper! classic

i remember a mate of mine getting arrested after a scuffle with a few carlisle fans at deepdale back in the mid 90's.anyway a few weeks later he was up infront of the judge when the judge declared "supporting preston north end is punishment enough dear boy!!!!!!"🙂

made the headline's of the post that did

Re: Most memorable..

That photo reminds me of a moment that changed my life...a real epiphany, and was also one of the funniest moments, IMO, to ever occur at Deepdale. Quite a few on the Kop saw it.

On the left, there was a childrens/family enclosure, with big fences around it. Generally, it was not crowded...just the odd spread out adult with a few nippers around him.

Now on this fateful day, I was in the Skeffington, pissed as a newt, about 16 and with a right bunch of Nobber hooligans...I`d fallen in with them over the course of 10 or 12 games, home and away, and was starting to get in some serious trouble.

It got 10 ter 3, and still nobody was trying to get to the game..that started to do me head in. Seemed like they were more interested in supping than watching. At that moment, I felt myself questioning the crowd I was with for the first time, instead of looking up to them as older mentors.

Then, as a group, we set off running down towards the ground. As we ran, it became surreal. I was told that we were going to crash the turnstiles, and that I`d `better not chicken out or we`ll come for you later`.

Racist taunts were flung at a passing family. I saw knives been hidden down undercrackers. Someone tried to sell me smack...all as we were running.

We got to the turnstiles..and summat in me just snapped. Hey..I WANTED to pay to get in, this was my club!

So I made my decision and split.

Paid me money, stood on Kop, and waited for the inevitable ..a right kicking. But I felt happy.

Then a commotion broke out in the kids enclosure. The crowd in`t Kop surged to see what was happening.... and saw a large group running desparately around the kids enclosure trying to hide from the police and stewards.

It were hilarious. In their drunken state, they had gone through the wrong turnstile and were now crouching down behind little kids.

There were thousands laughing at them..and I never saw one of them ever go on the North End again.


Since then...I go to most matches on my own, even now. Just like it that way.

Corner of t`kop, with a fag and a Yorkie, pie at half time. The lone Nobber.
That was my spiritual home. Still is, somewhere in time.


..oh, and I made summat of me life after that crossroads moment.

I owe PNE that.
 
Re: Most memorable..

Not many people on here will remember one of my most memorable..........

It was about 1976 and we were at home to Shrewsbury on a friday night.

It was a top of the table clash and we were 1-0 up as the game went into injury time and shrewsbury equalised an my whole world fell apart !

But then within 60 seconds we went up the other end and won a free kick and from the free kick David Sadler headed the winner !!!

I was that high that when i got home my old man was convinced that i had been drinking ( but i hadnt )

I have said this before on here, but watching PNE fans slide down the wet grassy bank behind the goal (while we were huddled under a corrigated iron cow shed) at springfield park, wigan, and then being able to walk around to the other side for the second half is priceless.

Re: Most memorable..

There are too many good moments to choose from, so I will pick one which has stuck in my mind for the wrong reasons.

It was at derby a few years back, when we won thanks to goals from Dickson Etuhu and David Healy, when Cresswell got Warren Barton sent off. Me and my mates were sat very close to the derby fans by the segregation. We were winning 2-0 with about 5 minutes to go, and the Derby fans were all trooping out in large numbers. The North End fans were all singing 'Time to go, time to go...etc' and it was all a good laugh. Then suddenly a Derby fan in his early twenties stood up and launched a coin in our direction. I saw it swerve away from us, but it hit some kid sat directly behind me, on the side of the head. He was only about 5 years old, and he started crying. Only I knew what happened so I stood up and went down to a steward to try and get this man locked up. The steward said he would 'inform the authorities go through the proper channels of communication' or some rubbish. I went back to my seat and this little lad was still crying. I told his dad what happened, and he said he would get in touch with Derby County and the police.

I don't know what happened to the disgraceful bloke, but that poor little lad probably never wants to come on another North End match in his life. if it has stuck in my mind, it will have done in his.
 
Re: Most memorable..

Anyone remember this...

In t'mid 80s it was not unusual to have some wierd half time entertainment (Tom Finney carol singing etc) but this one day it was the Bill Head Honda motorcycling team.

They were all racing around the shingle track for a while at half time, all very boring.

Then they started to show off a tad (much more exciting) especially when they started pulling wheelies on the stretch in front of the West Stand.

Until they got too carried away and lost their bearings, one after another smacking into the fence at the bottom of the old/real Kop, clambering back on board as if nothing had happened, then doing the same again when the reached the old Hen Pen.

I remember tears rolling down my cheeks laughing.

Normally in those days I relied on Bhagwan for comedy value but that was absolutely hilarious.

Still, as we were probably fielding a midfield that day of Gray, Keen, Rudge and Chippendale, we needed some entertainment!
 
Re: Most memorable..

one of mine is toward the end of gary peters reign

two lads jump out of the old town end run across the pitch right in front of the dug out they gave him a two fingered salute then kept on running with police/stewards in putsuit, jump over the hoardings on the demolished kop and disappear into the night, wonder who they were

also remember on I think it was a blackpool match a bloke jumps out of shankly runs across front of kop and snots about 4 lashers before getting arrested
 
Re: Most memorable..

not a classic, but seeing the two dingle mascots sitting on the pitch at turf moor looking completely dejected last season was quite funny, or nuge's goal at belland road in the playoff's last season, my mate got dragged off by some nobber who came past as he was celebrating, didnt return for about 10mins

I was talking about this the other day! Was mental that!

Most of best memories all seem to come from the 3rd division championship. Rochdale in the lashing down rain, Northampton town night match and Sav getting booked for taking his shirt off in celebration after he scored. And in particular remember the linesman making a terrible decision against us infront of where the West Stand was. It was at the time demolished and being made into the Sir Tom stand. There was an old gentleman in a wheelchair who also took exception to the decision and lobbed his walking stick at him. Quality

However my most memorable match moments, as in the ones that I would want to relive again are both from Play off semis. 1st- that moment Rankine toe bunged it into the net. Oh my god, I jumped up to celebrate and ended up about 4 rows down from my actual seat. 2nd was when Nugent scored at Bell End Road last season in the semis. That moment I was walking on air and dissapeared under a pile on. Had the bruise on my leg for weeks. Those moments we were ahead were pure bliss.
 
Re: Most memorable..

may 4th 1971 28221 at deepdale v rotherham[roy tunks in goal]. the man himself with 2 goals- THE GREAT ALAN SPAVIN 1 from a free kick from the edge of the box. the other goal scorer was clive clark direct from a corner. we won the legue that night as throughout the season the cry went up "SPAVIN FOR ENGLAND"
 
Re: Most memorable..

v Darlington during the Peters era.
Stood on the kop watching the Darlo fans stood in the paddock giving Sav some real stick (he eventually got sent off) Deepdale Duck wanders round the concourse infront of them obviously winding them up, an arm is swung and brushed off Deepdale Ducks nose as his tried to avoid it.

I can only imagine what the bloke who tried to snot an eight foot duck tells his mates...

That was my first game as well! Pi55ed down all afternoon and ended up 0-0.
 
Re: Most memorable..

Away at Chelsea in the cup a few years back, sat with my dad right in the corner of the stand...I've never heard a linesman or substitutes take more stick.
Jody Morris was warming up and he'd been in some newspaper - his missus had left him over some affair with a stripper. This bloke behind me had a picture of her in the paper and was winding himup no end...he took it well though, gave him a cheeky wink!

That was the game I dropped my pants whilst Chelsea were warming up and started to slap my bare arse in front of Graeme Le Saux. He seemed to enjoy it. 😀 Was also stood right in front of Ranieri when Sky were interviewing him and when asked about the state of the pitch he replied "The pitch is shit!". Quality 😀
