Ex-PNE man moved to the Potters last summer
Preston North End legend Paul Gallagher says leaving the club’s coaching staff was ‘one of the hardest’ decisions he’s had to make. The Lilywhites lost the Scot last summer, as he reunited with old PNE boss Alex Neil at fellow Championship side Stoke City. Gallagher, who made 313 appearances for North End, moved into a coaching role in 2021 and worked alongside Neil, Frankie McAvoy and Ryan Lowe on the touchline at Deepdale.
My kids were crying because they are Preston fans. They have got season tickets, they still go to the games and support the team. Because of Alex, I had a bit more input as I understood the way he wanted to play. “To be honest, he saw that in me as a player coming into my coaching days. He always said I would become a part of his team when I retired. I probably could’ve carried on playing, but I didn’t want to leave Preston and go somewhere else.
