Preston North End Football Club is a professional English football team. It currently plays in the Football League Championship.
Nicknamed the "Lilywhites", "North End" or simply "PNE", the club is based at the Deepdale ground in the city of Preston, Lancashire. Deepdale is also the home of the National Football Museum, which is the first and largest major football museum in the world.
PNE were founding members of the Football League in 1888 and were league champions the first two seasons, but have not won a title since. They won their last major trophy in the 1938 F.A Cup, and they have been outside the top division since 1961. Between 1985 and 1996, they endured five seasons in the basement division of the English League, but since 2000, PNE have been in the second tier of the league. They have qualified for the playoffs in 2001, 2005 and 2006, but defeats in each of these campaigns prevented them from reaching the Premiership.
PNE is also notable for the League debut of a young David Beckham, making five appearances on loan and scoring two goals before being recalled by Manchester United.
