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.

STEVE WELSH: He left Posh twice for Scottish football, the first time after losing his place in John Still’s team and secondly after the club’s financial struggles forced Barry Fry to sell him. Welsh finished his playing career at Lincoln and started his coaching career at the same club. He worked with Boston’s youth team for a decade and is now the 51 year-old head of Doncaster’s Academy.

MICK HALSALL: Sadly an achilles injury picked up early in the 1992-93 campaign meant 10 months on the sidelines and that pretty much proved to be the end of his Posh career. Halsall remained at Posh and became assistant manager to John Still and was then a popular choice to take over in 1995. Halsall was demoted when Barry Fry bought the club and sacked when Fry was forced to cut costs. Halsall, now 58, has since carved out a fine reputation as a youth coach first at Walsall and now at West Brom where he is Head of Academy.

GARY COOPER: He used to get so wound up he was seen more than once remonstrating with Posh fans after games. Indeed he was allegedly punched by a fan after one game leading to a famous fanzine headline of ‘the fan hitting the s**t’. Cooper went on to win a Second Division title with Birmingham before moving into non-league football. He’s now 54 and believed to be living a quiet life in his beloved London. Photo: Midlands

WORRELL STERLING: Wing wizard Worrell was so laid back he’d be asleep before the team bus left the stadium for an away trip. Worrell, who is now 54, played for Bristol Rovers and Lincoln after leaving Posh and has subsequently worked for DFS and at Peterborough Regional College. | EMPICS Sport/PA Photos
