our last double over Preston?

You know the answer to that - we hadn’t won there in the league for 80 years
70 years, I believe, Manc.
It’s certainly a rare thing for any Baggies fan to witness.
65 years in 1953/4

We won 3-2 at home and 2 nil away.

We finished second to the scum (they did the double over us which effectively  gave them the title) and beat Preston 3-2 in the Cup final.

We came the closest to achieving the title and FACup double until Spurs did it in 1961 (year of my birth).

So a Preston treble in fact.
