From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Deepdale Duck is the mascot of Preston North End. He is decorated in the club colours of white, yellow and black.

Deepdale is not restricted to the confines of Deepdale, and is often seen at away grounds. He was present at the playoff final at the Millennium Stadium Cardiff in 2005, which PNE lost. He regularly visits schools and hospitals in the Lancashire region.

Deepdale Duck remains one of the longest established and most recognised mascots in the Football League.

Deepdale Duck spoke for the first time in the buildup to the 5th round FA Cup tie against Portsmouth FC telling all Preston fans to get behind their team. Preston lost the fixture 1-0.

The Deepdale Duck is a large, yellow duck that is the official team mascot for Preston North End F.C..

The duck often takes part in pre-match and half time entertainment. The Deepdale Duck was beaten in a half-time Penalty shootout by the West Ham United F.C. mascots at the 2005 play-off final, a match that West Ham went on to win 1-0 and gain promotion to the FA Premier League. The Duck (with his side-kick Gary Robinson) visits over 150 primary schools a year with their (in)famous 'Deepdale Roadshow'. He also works hard for many local and national charaties and childrens organisations. He has appeared many times in national newspapers, TV shows and every national TV News programme. In 1998 the Duck was awarded Sky TV's 'Goal Celebration of the Month Award'. He even managed to attend the Labour Party Conference in Bournemouth when they were promoting the World Cup bid.
