So, Preston are "The Lilywhites".

So are we . . . and don't Spurs claim the same ?  Any more for any more ?

Sorry to be pedantic, we are the Lilliewhites.  Named for Lillie Road.

World of difference!

That's OK !  Thanks for the 'education' . . . some would call me pedantic, so I'm always pleased to live and learn :-).

...the nickname The Cottagers goes back to at least 1933 when these cards were produced.

Re the LillieWhites nickname, I also understood it to refer to Lillie Road where we once played...

I think Co Kildare GAA would be the original Lilywhites

Preston North End are/were always known as THE INVINCIBLES after becoming the first side to win the League and Cup Double in 1888/89.

Come on you whites..... 049:gif

That would make 11 years, not 1 . . . but their website says "Founded 1881", which would make us 2 years older !
