Description
Preston North End - The Seventies is a detailed account of the club's fortunes during the 1970s. Four managers attempted to lift the team out of the football gloom, with varying degrees of success. Despite some talented young players emerging during this period, they were often sold for significant sums, which hindered their progress. The book chronicles the full decade, from Preston North End's promotion from Division Three in 1970/71 under Alan Ball Snr, to their 10th place finish in Division Two in 1979/80 under Nobby Stiles. This tumultuous period was marked by significant changes at the club, including the sale of key players and the departure of managers. The author's comprehensive analysis provides a unique insight into Preston North End's history during this pivotal decade.
