Robson could dive even better than Tom Daley
POSH now have nine players who could be classed as wingers on their books (Boyd, Day, Whelpdale, Potter, Williams, Torres, Batt, Low, Green), but how many will rank among the club's greatest ever wideman? The Diary's current top 10 is....
POSH now have nine players who could be classed as wingers on their books (Boyd, Day, Whelpdale, Potter, Williams, Torres, Batt, Low, Green), but how many will rank among the club's greatest ever wideman? The Diary's current top 10 is....1 Tommy Robson
Apps: 559
Goals: 128
The daddy of them all. The bandy left winger had it all, pace, tricks, goals and the ability to win free-kicks and penalties with a routine Tom Daley would admire.
2 George Boyd
Apps: 77
Goals: 22
A threat to Robson's status. George is the star turn in the current Posh team of entertainers.
3 Matthew Etherington
Apps: 58
Goals: 6
Good enough at 15 to play in the Football League. Still playing to a consistently high level in the Premier League.
4 Peter McNamee
Apps: 212
Goals: 68
Part of the famous five forwards from the all-conquering 1960-61 team, but McNamee was still creating and scoring goals five years later.
5 David Farrell
Apps: 388
Goals: 52
A club legend thanks to his penchant for spectacular goals and his loyalty. Would have played many more times, but for a succession of niggly injuries.
6 Bobby Barnes
Apps: 60
Goals: 9
A gifted left winger who played an important part in Posh reaching the top two divisions of the Football League for the first time.
7 Billy Hails
Apps: 107
Goals: 33
Played on the flank opposite McNamee in the early 1960s and helped make Terry Bly a Posh goalscoring legend.
8 Worrell Sterling
Apps: 236
Goals: 38
A quiet, under-rated performer. Extremely consistent and scored a crucial goal in that famous play-off semi-final win at Huddersfield in 1992.
9 Scott Houghton
Apps: 87
Goals: 15
For half-a-season Houghton and Farrell played key roles in the most entertaining football seen under the management of Barry Fry.
10 Peter Thompson
Apps: 94
Goals: 18
He was an erratic left-winger in the mid-to-late 1960s, but he had a habit of scoring important goals, most notably in cup giant-killings over QPR and West Brom.
