Posh have won 17 and lost seven of the 28 clashes. They haven’t lost one since a 1-0 reverse in April, 2006 when ex-Posh striker Scott McGleish scored the only goal early in a League One game following a mistake by Sean St Ledger.
Posh have also won 12 and lost seven of the 28 away games so plenty of club derby day heroes for us to recall here...

6. PETER HINDLEY
Full-back Peter Hindley (pictured) didn't score many goals for Posh. In fact his only Posh goal in 129 appearances came in a 3-1 win over Cobblers in a Division Three game in April, 1978. Posh were behind early before John Cozens equalised, Hindley shot them ahead and Dave Gregory completed the scoring. Just short of 9,000 watched the game at London Road. Photo: s
