==Biography==

Preston was born in 1946 in [[Liverpool]]. Preston said in an interview that he has sympathy for the [[Second Spanish Republic]]: "I came from a fairly left-wing family. You could not really be from working-class Liverpool and not be left-wing. Emotionally, in my feeling for the Republic I think there is an element of indignation about the Republic's defeat, solidarity with the losing side. Maybe that's why I support [[Everton F.C.|Everton]], although Everton wasn't the losing side in my day."<ref>{{cite web|title=''The man who can't say no'': Preston is working harder than ever
