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.

GARRY KIMBLE: He had lost his place to January signing Bobby Barnes well before the play-offs later that season and went into non-league football with Dagenham & Redridge. Kimble also enjoyed some success early in his non-league managerial career with Witham Town. He managed Great Wakering Rovers of the Isthmian League last season. Garry’s twin brother Alan joined Posh briefly a decade after Garry had left London Road. Garry is now 53.

DAVE RILEY: David ‘Biddy’ Riley, also known as ‘Mavis’, was an unsung hero of this great Posh team. But he missed out on the 1992 play-offs after losing his place to Tony Adcock and left the club the following season after a spell in the club’s commercial department. Riley, who is now 59, lived and played in New Zealand for a while before setting up his own company in the kitchen industry in Peterborough. Photo: Midlands

KEN CHARLERY: The two-goal match-winner in the 1992 Third Division play-off final was sold to Watford for £350k the following season, but he loved Posh so much he came back twice (he was also once sold to Birmingham) without reducing his reputation. He was also hired as a player-coach by Mick Halsall when he was Posh boss. Charlery, who is now 55, made 224 Posh appearances and scored 80 goals before moving into non-league management. In 2017 he headed a consortium that purchased London Colney FC.
