Later History
During its history the team played 828 games, winning 758, drawing 46, and losing 24.
The teams' name changed to Preston Ladies F.C. in the latter part of the 1920s and carried on playing until 1965.
The FA finally recognised women's football in July 1971, 50 years after they had banned the game.
A Preston North End W.F.C. exists today (and is playing in the Women's Northern Championship), but is unrelated to this team.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“The awareness that health is dependent upon habits that we control makes us the first generation in history that to a large extent determines its own destiny.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
