Here we catch up with what happened to the heroes of that night from goalscorer Garry Kimble to daft-as-a-brush goalkeeper Fred Barber.
Several are still in football now, while others have stayed in the city to earn a living. No-one retired rich in thoose days.
Sadly the man who masterminded the famous victory, and who went on to lead Posh to the second tier of English football for the first time in the club’s history, Chris Turner has passed away.

FRED BARBER: A great character famous for running onto the pitch wearing a horror face mask, but he didn’t carry out a threat to wear it while greeting the Wembley dignitaries before the 1992 League One play-off final. After Posh, Barber played for Birmingham and non-league Kidderminster before becoming a renowned goalkeeping coach , most prominently at Bolton and with Northern Ireland’s international team. Barber is now 56 and coaching the Crewe goalkepeers. Photo: Midlands

NOEL LUKE: His Posh career ended in disappointment and a stand-off with manager Lil Fuccillo who awarded him a free transfer on deadline day much to the disgust of the club’s fans. He briefly joined Rochdale before dropping into non-league with Boston United. Luke was landlord of the Posh Pub at the London Road stadium and now works as a delivery driver in the city. Luke (55) also works at Posh on a matchday as a host. Photo: Midlands

PETER JOHNSON: His 11th and final Posh game was the Rumeblows Cup quarter-final against Middlesbrough, the club who had given him his first professional contract. After leaving Posh Johnson drifted into non-league football with Wycombe Wanderers and is now working as York City’s part-time under 16 coach. He is now 62. Photo: Midlands

DAVE ROBINSON The Posh record signing broke another club transfer record as gullible Notts County paid £425,000 for his services in 1992. It was a remarkable piece of business as Robinson’s knee injury never really healed and he played just three times for County. Robinson retired from pro football in 1994, but stayed local working for a cable television company and as a lorry driver. He is now 55. Photo: Midlands
