Still after a bit more nostalgia? Check out some of our other most recent picture galleries...
21. Many thanks to Wilf Riley and Bill Hobin for todayâs Looking Back. Wilf writes: âThis fine photo was donated by Bill Hobin, of Walton-le-Dale. Bill probably features on this picture of The Preston Town Team, photographed at PNEâs Deepdale ground, from around 1957. If anyone recognises themselves or is related to any of the players, please get in touch via email at [email protected]
