Other times Preston came up

  1. There is a thing where people don't like them and there was kind of uproar in 2009. There was this thing. It was in a place just opposite Preston where neighborhood watch distributed these cards. They put them through people's letterboxes and they gave them out in cafes and pubs and stuff. There were cards you can put in your window saying Carol singers were not welcome at that house.

  3. A woman has got to be about it. The first woman to ever be sent off an official football match for fighting was called Lily Parr. She is very famous. She played for the Dick Kerr ladies who were some factory workers from Preston who we might have mentioned before, actually, one of... We must have. Probably the most successful women's team of all time. Anyway, she had a shot that was so hard, she once broke the arm of a professional male goalkeeper.
