For the first time in my lifetime (just) a PNE player has scored for England. I know it was Andorra, but still.
Now for the premiership.

Sir Tom Finney has spoken of his pride at seeing David Nugent become the first Preston North End player to score for England in 49 years.
“It was only a tap in but nevertheless he scored and that was very important on his debut,” Finney told BBC Sport.
“It gives me a bit of a thrill to see a Preston player wearing an England shirt - the club itself will be very proud.”
Finney was the last Preston player to score for England when he found the net against Northern Ireland in 1958.
