"I do join in training if one of the goalkeepers is injured or are away for any reason so I do still keep my hand in, I normally suffer the day after it though.

"It's fantastic to be able to pull on the Preston shirt again and to see some players of the players I played with years and years ago.

"It's something I am really looking forward to getting involved in. I've told Unsy [David Unsworth] already that if we play against each other I will put him over the boards with the first tackle, so he'd better watch out!"

"It's been a few years since I pulled on a Preston shirt, I've played in one or two charity games but the Masters is really high profile and is seen as a big event these days.
"A lot of the big clubs have been in it but this is the first time that Preston have been in it so it is great to be selected in Preston's first squad and be able to represent Preston North End."
Brian O'Neil
Current Age: 37
Position: Midfielder
Played for PNE: 2002-06
Appearances made for PNE: 127
"The team at the moment might be young, I won't say that it will be a fast team but hopefully we will do okay, have a bit of fun and entertain the fans because that is what it is all about.
"We want to make it a day that the Preston fans can really enjoy."
David Eyres

"When I was asked if I would be able to take part and play and pull on the Preston shirt, it was a pretty comfortable decision to make.
