The National Football Museum has brought its Pride of the Pitch Exhibition to Lancashire Archives in Bow Lane.
It chronicles the city’s footballing greats from the ‘Invincibles’ team of the 1880s all the way to the mid 20th century, Dick, Kerr Ladies, and the legendary Sir Tom Finney.
Here's 10 pictures from the launch event on Thursday evening.
