🇬🇭 Prior to kick-off on Saturday and for Black History Month, we celebrated Arthur Wharton, the first black professional footballer, with an event at Moor Park School opposite Deepdale.
The event featured a wonderful presentation by Shaun Campbell and Danny Howes of the Arthur Wharton Foundation who talked passionately about Arthur’s career and the work of the Foundation.
We also had a heritage display, children’s crafts, and a collection of items brought by the National Football Museum. It was great to see the community come together for a true sporting great. 🙌

How Africa changed the Premier League on @SkySports interesting.
One thing so far, most of players were representing Africa not their country.
Much love and respect to @AWisNumber1
