Jermaine Beckford And Eoin Doyle Statement

Mon 05 Dec 2016


This is a joint statement issued by Jermaine Beckford and Eoin Doyle in relation to the incident that led to their sending off at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.


“We apologise wholeheartedly for our actions at Hillsborough.

“Our behaviour was not acceptable in any walk of life, let alone on a football pitch.

“We let down the management, our team-mates and most importantly the supporters, who had spent a lot of money to support the team.

“We accept the punishment given to us by the club and The FA and fully support the club’s decision to refund the ticket costs to the supporters.

“We have apologised to the manager, the staff and our team-mates and hope that the supporters accept our total remorse for the incident.

“It is our intention to now put this behind us and to give our all for the benefit of Preston North End going forward.”

And Preston will refund their fans who travelled

Preston have fined players Jermaine Beckford and Eoin Doyle for their clash in the defeat at Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend and will use the money to refund the ticket price for fans who traveled to the game.

Manager Simon Grayson said: “The fans who travelled to Sheffield Wednesday were let down by the actions of Jermaine Beckford and Eoin Doyle and it is only right that the fines imposed on the players are used to refund the cost of the ticket money for the fixture.

“It has been made very clear to the players and the squad as a whole that this behaviour is not acceptable by any employee of Preston North End and a swift and strong response was important, however, it has now been dealt with and the matter is closed.”
