Bradshaw played 39 times for a team that was galvanised by the mid-season arrival of Chris Turner as manager. Bradshaw was in goal when Posh fought back from 2-0 down at Chesterfield to draw 2-2 on the final day of the season to win promotion from Division Four.

Bradshaw was offered another contract by Posh, but decided instead to join non-league Kettering Town that summer.

Bradshaw made his name at Wolves for whom he played over 200 times. He won a League Cup winners medal after keeping a clean sheet in the 1980 final against Brian Clough’s Nottingham Forest.
