One of Our Own


This Norwegian bad ass and true fan of the mighty Lilly Whites visited Deepdale for the first time back in 1999. We played Man City and shared the points in a 1-1 draw. On the pavillion Håvard shared something bigger with a sold out stadium. He was hooked and his life was complete!
As all true northern b*stards his hobbies are climbing mountains, skiing and of course hunting. To impress this man you have to make a hell of an effort.


Name: Håvard Krey Hansen
Twitter: @kreyhansen

Q: If you where the boss of the entire North End empire, what would be different?
A: I would ban the clubs possibility to sign loan players, and I would force Hemmings to sell all his horses and put the money in PNE!!

Q: What Norwegian(s) would you bring to the club?
A: Free use of the Norwegian oil fund. Brede Hangeland would tighten up our poor defence.. and probably Mohammed Abdoullaoue (NBblog: plays for Hannover at the moment) up front should do...

Q: Whats your favorit bar in Preston?
A: Sherwood; happy people and a nice atmosphere..

Q: How would you describe Preston, the city, to someone back home?
A: Very average, not much to do and nothing to see. Poor shopping. But we have a fantastic football club, and the nightlife can be great! (NBblog: when dressed according to local code)

Q: How would you describe the Preston supporters?
A: Too many glory hunters, attendance should be better compared to our neighbour clubs. But the hard core fans is one of the best in England.

Have a great weeend everyone and don`t settle for less. As Håvard the Hunter allway says "If it`s not 5 times my size it`s not worth hunting!"

Happy hunting ya`ll!

King`s back in England


Former Preston North End player and Norwegian national Joshua King is back as a Championship player. The 1000th player to put on the Lilly White jersey will be playing for Hull City for a while. Needless to say we wanted him back at Deepdale but we belive that was unfortunally never an option.
He was also linked to Ole Gunnar Solskjærs club, defending Norwegian league champions Molde, but not this time. "I might play for Ole somethime later in my career" the young player told the Norwegian press.

The Branch hopes that King will play for Ole when Ole is in charge at Deepdale.
