The Official PNE Podcast

We caught up with former goalkeeper Tepi Moilanen for a special episode! Tepi arrived at the club in the mid-90s is no longer involved in football, but looks back fondly on his time with the club and the characters he played alongside and worked with.

He reflects on his own career, recalling his first game and the best times, including the fantastic 1999/2000 promotion season, when he set a new club record for clean sheets in a league season, as well as the more difficult times coping with injuries.

In our second podcast special looking back at that memorable win at Wembley in 2015, we are joined by Alan Kelly, who followed in his father’s footsteps at Wembley whilst with North End, plus former PNE defender Bailey Wright, skipper Tom Clarke and giving a fans’ perspective we have matchday host and PNE supporter Simon Crabtree.

In this second edition we find out about the emotion from ‘Kells’ of winning for his home town club under the famous arch, as well as from Bailey Wright, the only player still in the squad from when the side dropped down to League One.

Simon discusses the legends who travelled down on the bus with him and reflects on being able to enjoy the occasion, given the way the scoreline went, whilst Tom talks about his previous Play-Off experiences and his hope for another when football resumes.

Five years on, we reflect on that memorable Play-Off win at Wembley in 2015! We are joined by Jermaine Beckford, Joe Garner, Paul Gallagher, John Welsh, Paul Huntington and then manager Simon Grayson to discuss the events from the disappointment of Colchester through to the win under the arch.

They recall the whole experience from the loss down in Essex, through to the return to action against Chesterfield, the two-legged victory and then the convincing Final performance.

This week it is 20 years since David Moyes’ Preston North End were presented with the division two trophy in front of a sold out Deepdale.

One of the key figures and the captain that day was club skipper and that year’s player of the year, Sean Gregan.

The Lilywhites legend took an hour to speak to the Official PNE Podcast to look back on his career, from growing up with his mum on a council estate in the north east, through his time at Deepdale, and playing in the Premier League.

He discusses his decision to join Gary Peters’ side, the characters in the dressing room, the nights out and some great memories, including ‘doing a John Terry’ to pick up the trophy in full kit, including the captain’s armband when out injured.
