History Of Preston North End F.C.
Preston North End Football Club is an English football club in Preston, Lancashire, currently playing in the third tier of English league football, League one. They were a founder member of the English Football League in 1888 and were the first English football champions.
In the past Preston enjoyed significant success, being the first winners of "The Double" in English football. In 1888–89 Preston became the only team to go throughout an entire season unbeaten in both the league and FA Cup — only Arsenal F.C., in 2003–04, have managed to have an unbeaten season in the top division since. They were league champions again the following season, but have not won the title since. Their last major trophy was an FA Cup triumph in 1938.
