Preston chairman Derek Shaw has urged David Beckham to look no further than Deepdale if he is looking for a football club to buy.

Beckham made his Football League debut as a teenager on loan at Deepdale and has a personal fortune estimated at around £100million.

The former Manchester United star has expressed interest in investing in a club when he retires and Shaw would welcome his arrival at Preston.

"We all remember David and I'm sure he remembers the time he spent here - even though it was only a month," Shaw told the Lancashire Evening Post.

"If he has still got our phone number then we'd be delighted to hear from him.
