After three successful years as player manager of the Preston North End fans team Steve Cowell has decided to retire from competitive matches at the full time whistle of the Barnsley game this weekend. A full report on this story is available on the Preston North End Supporters Team official website forum but you will need to register in order to read it. While this will be a sad loss to the Preston North End side it is hoped that we will continue to go from strength to strength with Steve at the helm and that next season we will once again be racking up the silverware as well as the miles.
