In a poignant tribute to the 21 former Preston North End (PNE) players, reserves, and registered amateurs who lost their lives during World War I, a new permanent memorial was unveiled at Deepdale Stadium on the 27th of October, 2018. The occasion marked the centenary of the Armistice and took place during PNE's home match against Rotherham United in the English Football League Championship. PNE historian Ian Rigby stood proudly next to the new memorial, a plaque adorned with the names of the fallen heroes. The atmosphere at Deepdale was somber yet filled with a sense of pride and respect as the crowd observed the solemn ceremony. The occasion was an important reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men, who put their football careers on hold to serve their country during a time of war. The memorial serves as a lasting tribute to their memory and a reminder of the deep connection between football and the community. As the teams took to the field for the 2018-19 season's match, a poppy wreath was laid at the base of the memorial, symbolizing the enduring spirit of remembrance. The occasion was a powerful reminder of the importance of honoring the past and the role that sports can play in bringing communities together. The unveiling of the memorial was a significant moment for Preston North End Football Club and its fans, as they paid tribute to their fallen heroes and reflected on the sacrifices made in the name of freedom and peace. The memorial stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of those who gave their all for their country and their club.
