SIMON LYNCH
Remember him? The Canadian born striker signed for PNE in 2002 (by the incompetent Craig Brown) after a £130,000 transfer from Celtic.
Lynch was always described as 'promising' but frustratingly only managed 2 goals in 36 appearances and was eventually shipped out on loan to Stockport and even Blackpool.
Lynch had brief spells back in Scotland and eventually in Australia for Queensland. But retired at the age of 29 following a year at Stenhousemuir in 2011, after apparently 'losing his enthusiasm for the game'. To be honest I cant say I am surprised.
His Preston career never even looked like kicking off, as can be seen by his goals to games stats. Lynch was one of a number of poor signings by Craig Brown, many of whom will no doubt turn up in the 'Legends' posts to come.
