15. MICHAEL BOSTWICK
Signed 09/07/12....Apps/Goals 229/22...Signed from Stevenage for a fee reported to be around £800k and he turned into a reliable and strong centre-back for Posh, one who played with great commitment for five years before leaving for Lincoln City.

16. JONSON CLARKE-HARRIS
Signed 23/07/12...Apps/Goals 0/0...Posh took a chance on an 18 year-old striker on a free transfer from Coventry City. It didn't pay-off and, after loans at Bury and Southend United, he moved on to Oldham Athletic 12 months after signing. Didn't do too bad when he returned to Posh for around a million quid seven years later...Rating 1/10 (10/10 in his second spell). Photo: david lowndes
