EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph from the Preston North End (PNE) versus Rotherham United SkyBet Championship match at Deepdale on October 27,2018,21 local school children proudly represent the 21 registered former PNE players who tragically lost their lives during World War I. As 2018 marks the centenary of the Armistice, Preston North End took a moment to remember and honor the fallen heroes of the beautiful game. The children, dressed in their school uniforms, stand solemnly on the pitch, each holding a photograph of a fallen player. Their young faces reflect a sense of reverence and respect, as they pay tribute to the brave men who donned the Preston North End colors before them. The atmosphere at Deepdale was filled with a deep sense of history and tradition, as the community came together to remember and honor the sacrifices made by these former players. The commemoration took place during the pre-match warm-up, with the children leading the teams onto the pitch. The crowd, which included family members and friends of the fallen players, observed a moment of silence before the match began. This heartfelt gesture served as a powerful reminder of the enduring connection between the game of football and the community it serves, as well as the importance of remembering the past and the sacrifices made by those who came before us. This photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of Preston North End Football Club, as it pays tribute to the 21 players who lost their lives in the Great War. The image stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the game and the importance of remembering the past, as we continue to move forward.
