7. Today's nostalgic photo of a Preston schools team dates from the 1980s and comes courtesy of reader Wilf Riley and the archives of the (late) Dick Clegg. Wilf writes: âIâm sorry, I donât know the school but the photo features a fresh-faced youngster on the front row, with a football at his feet (third from right). The young lad is Preston North End goalkeeper Alan Kelly Jnr. Alan, of course, is a chip off the block of Preston North End goalkeeping dynasty, The âKellysâ. Dad, Alan, was a PNE legend, playing and managing the Deepdale Football League Club. The Alan Kelly (Snr) Grandstand, on the Town End part of Deepdale, was named in his memory, of course.â Please email your nostalgic photos to [email protected]
