Peterborough United manager would have had a couple more of his current squad in the all-time Fergie XI picked by the Peterborough Telegraph, plus the best fans' XIs

Peterborough United manager Darren Ferguson reckons as many as five of his current squad could make an all-time team based on players to have played under him at London Road.

Ferguson was made aware on Thursday of the PT’s selection of an all-time Fergie squad. We had central defender Ronnie Edwards and midfielder Hector Kyprianou of the current stars in our starting XI with forward Ephron Mason-Clark on the substitutes’ bench.

"Oh that’s interesting,” Ferguson said. “I can think of a couple more off the top my head who I would have in there, but I’m not going to say who.

"I’m not one to get carried away, but I’ve said before the current squad could go on to be the best I’ve ever managed and I’ve been lucky to have managed some top players who have gone on to play in the play in the Premier League and to play international football.”
