Peterborough United pair off to Wembley and more old boys could yet join them
Former Peterborough United pair Tayo Edun and Malik Mothersille are heading to Wembley again.
Edun impressed in a 90-minute performance as Stockport County outclassed Stevenage in the second leg of their League One play-off semi-final at Edgeley Park on Wednesday night. County won 2-0 with two first-half goals to complete a 3-0 aggregate win. Substitute Mothersille went on for the final 10 minutes.
County will face either Bradford City or Bolton Wanderers in the final at Wembley on Sunday, May 24. City have a 1-0 deficit to overhaul at home in Thursday night’s second leg (8pm kick off).
Edun and Mothersille both played at Wembley in a Vertu Trophy Final defeat against Luton Town earlier this season. If Mothersille gets on in the play-off final he will have appeared four times at the national stadium in three seasons as he played for Peterborough United in the 2024 and 2025 EFL Trophy Finals.
Former Posh loan player Kyle Dempsey is expected to be in the Bolton squad tonight.
Former Posh loanee Zak Sturge won’t be appearing at Wembley late this month as his Millwall side were beaten 2-0 at home by Hull City in their Championship play-off semi-final second leg to complete a 2-0 aggregate defeat.
Friday night will see former Posh midfielder Jorge Grant and Oliver Norburn try to reach Wembley. Grant’s Salford are defending a 2-1 lead at home to Grimsby Town, while Norburn’s Notts County are at home to Chesterfield holding a 1-0 advantage from the first leg.
Former Posh ‘keeper Christy Pym is at Grimsby, but has been out of first-team favour since December.
