Legendary goalkeeper is the next guest of honour at Peterborough United senior citizens event


Steele was the goalkeeper when Posh won the Fourth Division title in the 1973-74 season. That was the last time Posh finished on top of a Football League table.
Steele joined Posh on loan from Newcastle United in December, 1973 and was signed permanently for a £10,000 fee in May 1974. Steele made 148 appearances for Posh. His consistency and fitness meant he never missed a game before moving to Brighton for £18,000 in February, 1977. His 148 consecutive appearances was a Posh record until George Boyd beat it.
