A free event exploring Preston’s footballing icons is taking place at Lancashire Archives.

Michael Barrett’s talk, titled Preston’s Footballing Icons: The Invincibles, will look at how the unbeaten North End team of 1888-89 took the football world by storm.

Michael is the Heritage Co-ordinator at Preston North End Community and Education Trust.

He’s also the author of bestselling graphic novel Preston North End – The Rise of The Invincibles, and PNE Forever – Stories from the Fans of Preston North End.
