The wing wizard was a star of the 1991-92 Posh team that reached the second tier of English football for the first time in the club’s history by winning a dramatic promotion from Division Three. Barnes had moved to London Road along with Tony Adcock from cash-strapped local rivals Northampton Town for a cut-price £60k for the pair the previous January.

Barnes also helped Posh to what remains their highest Football League finish, 10th in the old Division One the following season.
