Tom Finney played for Preston North End between 1946 and 1960, making 433 football league and 40 FA cup appearances for the club, scoring 210 goals. He also made 76 England appearances, scoring 30 goals. His bronze statue, outside the club's Deepdale Stadium, was unveiled in 2004. The sculptor was Peter Hodgkinson and it is called 'The Splash', based on a photograph of Finney playing against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in waterlogged conditions.
