Nah, pet. It's a management question.

 

[MickyD]

Oh, did you mean Darren Ferguson? All managed Preston.

 

[Barrie Davis]

Oh yeah, silly me. You know I actually saw that and thought I had corrected it but copied and pasted the original question with the error! Blimey, you got it even with wrong info! OK, this is where it gets harder - the remaining ones are, I think, quite obscure unless you are a real statto.

Oh well deduced sir. Yes, they did not score the last goal at a ground before moving but they were the last HOME player to score. Only four to go.
