Preston born footballer turned commentator Mark Lawrenson has shared his opinion on Preston North End's season and future.
66-year-old Mark, who grew up in Penwortham, has reflected on how the past year has gone for the football team that means so much to himself and his family. The former St Teresa's Catholic Primary School and Preston Catholic College pupil started his professional football career at Preston North End back in 1974, when he was 16 - his father, Tom Lawrenson, had also played for the team.
” The former BBC commentator then went on to discuss why he thinks Preston has not yet made into the Premier League before cutting his team some reluctant slack. Mark continued: “In that division, it’s all about how much money you’ve got and the players that you can attract, and for me that’s the story with Preston. I know the supporters don’t think it’s good enough, but they’ve been in that league for a long, long time and they won’t bankrupt themselves trying to get into the Premier League.
