EVERY club, apart from Posh obviously, has a Craig Bellamy-type figure - a man the opposition fans love to hate.
Here are the 10 men who could have the Posh fans practising their heckling this season:

Brighton
Midfielder STEVE THOMSON spent a season and a half at Posh when we were pretty rubbish. He wasn't a particularly bad player, but he let himself down by dropping into the SPL.

Boo-Boy rating: 6/10.

Bristol Rovers
Centre-back STEVE ELLIOTT turned down the chance to move to Posh last summer. Clearly lacks intelligence.

Boo-boy rating: 8/10.

Colchester United
Striker CLIVE PLATT hardly ever hit the target with Posh until he tangled with a Bristol City player's teeth during the half-time interval at Ashton Gate.

Boo-boy rating: 9/10.

Leeds United
DAVID PRUTTON once got banned for shoving an official. Disgraceful behaviour as the official wasn't even Graham Poll.

Boo-boy rating 7/10.

Leicester City
LEE HENDRIE'S marriage broke down after a few hours, he's had a drink driving conviction and he was suspected of scrapping with a former manager. Nice bloke.

Boo-boy rating: 8/10.

MK Dons
Not only did the Dons undeservedly pip Posh to the League Two title last season, but KEITH ANDREWS was laughably voted the best player in the division, ahead of George Boyd and Aaron Mclean.

Boo-boy rating: 6/10

Northampton
It's just not on playing for the Cobblers after Posh so LEON CONSTANTINE, a one-goal striker at London Road, is worthy of three jeers.

Boo-boy rating: 7/10.

Northampton
Obviously there should be a collective boo for the entire Cobblers team, but ADEBAYO AKINFENWA is a soft target as he's built more for sumo wrestling than football.

Boo-boy rating: 7/10.

Oldham
LEE HUGHES walked straight out of prison to resume his career. He's the Joey Barton of League Two and should be treated as such.

Boo-boy rating: 10/10.

Stockport
A goal from TOMMY ROWE wrecked Posh hopes of equalling a club record of 17 League games unbeaten last season. To rub it in his manager reckoned he was a better player than George Boyd, the fool.

Boo-boy rating: 6/10.
