Preston North End

Deepdale's terraces, terracotta old,
Where Preston North End's story first took flight.
Founded in eighty-eight, both brave and bold,
The first to claim the league's emergent light.

They went through seasons undefeated, pristine,
The "Invincibles" – a name worn with honour.
Lancashire lace and northern grit, serene,
Built foundations that time could not erode.

Now Deepdale hums with that enduring sound,
Of hopes renewed on familiar, hallowed ground.
The lilywhite shirts, the old, beloved cry,
Still echo where the greatest legends lie.
From humble start to eternal place,
Preston's heart beats strong in Lancashire's embrace.
