Then in the offseason, for reasons I've never understood, Preston let Lewis walk on a free transfer. He ended up at Leeds and seems to have had a crackling season. (I haven't gotten sufficiently insane to order Setanta yet, so I don't get to watch these games.) He's scored six goals, but more importantly seems to fire in a half-dozen crackerjack crosses every game. Leeds finished 5th in the table (up from 14th the previous year) and desperately needs to earn a promotion spot because of the team's perilous financial state.
So who does Leeds end up squaring off against in the first round of the playoffs? Preston naturally. And who scored the game-tying goal today on a "superb" 74th-minute free kick? Eddie Lewis naturally.
Foolish, foolish Preston. The game ended 1-1. Let's hope Leeds can finish the job on Monday at home.
