The pie took time to visit League One high fliers Preston North End, home of legendary footballer and all-round nice bloke Sir Tom Finney. Other famous ex players include Bill Shankly, Tommy Docherty and Diego Maradonna. Preston were founder members of the English Football League in 1888 and were the first English football champions.
Former managers include, to name but a few, Sam Allardyce, John (mad dog) Beck, David Moyes and Sammy Davies Jnr.
