Preston North End-The Original Invincibles | AFC Finners | Football History Documentary

In 1888, The Football League was founded, and the first season would soon take place. Preston North End stormed to the title without losing a single game, and would cement their place in history by adding the FA Cup to seal a double.

As a Preston fan I’m very happy to see someone recognising the original invincibles

[@Torkild2007]

Yes, it is really important for people to know about the original Invincibles🤩 I am from Norway and it is just two clubs that have gone unbeaten in one season, Fredrikstad did it in 1951-52 and Rosenborg did it in 2010😀

[@HenrikCOYG]

Very impressive by Preston👏🏼 Hopefully they can do it again 😂

[@afcfinners]

More likely they’ll repeat it than Arsenal!

Great video!!!

Thank you!!!

Interestingly North End are still followed in Scotland. The Sunday Post always produces a full format report on all our games.

[@dennisesplin3285]

As a kid in Arbroath Scotland I followed North End reading the Sunday Post. Big following.

[@PNETriffid]

I wish I'd known that when I lived in Scotland.

@@knottybogeye6387 David Eyres , a great player .Probably the best left winger I’ve ever seen at PNE !

[@ChrissyboyH44]

PNE will be Premier League one day, there's no doubt. To even gain promotion this season is entirely possible after such a flying start.

[@afcfinners]

We need them in the prem at some point, arguably english football’s first great club, criminal how long they’ve been away, hope they can keep it up

[@ChrissyboyH44]

@@afcfinners Almost every club which has been in the top flight before bounces back to it at some stage, even if it's many decades later. Huddersfield and Brentford are two great recent examples. PNE last saw top flight status in 1961 and have also won two titles. It's therefore far more likely PNE will make the Prem one day soon than say Plymouth Argyle or Rotherham who are also playing currently in the Championship but have never played top flight football. However, PNE, Bristol City and even Millwall could well make the Prem within the next couple of seasons but have never been in it before now. That's generally how the English football pyramid works over time.

[@afcfinners]

@@ChrissyboyH44 Yeah I've seen many clubs get to the prem for the first time like Bournemouth, Huddersfield and Hull and expect the likes of PNE and BC to follow soon, I think it's a healthy aspect of English football

[@jldch26]

Would have been great to have been alive to see this. Even if you're not a Preston supporter.

[@Bart_Allen_YT]

It was a great side...I still remember how David Moyes inspired them to such glorious heights.

nice video. My great-great grandad, David Russell was part of that team. Unfortunately I inherited non of his football abilities!!

Hopefully it is only recessive.

[@indiekiddrugpatrol3117]

Shame they've not been in the top flight since the 50s, I'm not a PNE fan but I'd love to see them get promoted over the likes of Norwich or Watford they've waited long enough

[@afcfinners]

Oh I’d love it if they came back

[@indiekiddrugpatrol3117]

@@afcfinners it's surely a matter of time they've been established in the championship for almost a decade now

[@mcoeif]

Chelsea 2005 > Arsenal 2004, Preston North End 1889. Change my mind.
