Later in the season they beat Chelsea 6-1 at Goodison but a week later lost 2-6 at WBA. Preston's last League match of the season - on April 30th 1960 - saw Tom Finney's final match for the club in front of a 29,781 Deepdale crowd. Every one of Finney's 433 League appearances was for his local club who beat Luton 2-0 on the day.	Results	1	Burnley	42	24	7	11	85	61	55
