Peterborough United are celebrating 60 seasons as a Football League club in 2019-20.
To mark the anniversary Peterborough Telegraph Posh writer Alan Swann has ranked 60 memorable moments from the last 60 years. Football League and play-offs only (no cup memories) and in reverse order. Today it’s numbers 41-50.
Posh fans used to protest at Barry Fry's management.
1987: Physio Bill Harvey is credited with saving the life of Posh full-back Steve Collins after the player had swallowed his tongue during a game with Northampton
1962: Legendary manager Jimmy Hagan, the architect of the dazzling Fourth Division title winning side from two seasons earlier was 'sacked on the spot' for 'incidents involving players'.
2008: Posh finished runners-up in League One behind Leicester, but above Leeds who they beat at London Road 2-0 with goals from George Boyd (right) and Craig Mackail-Smith.
1969: Jim Hall scored four and Peter Price (right) three as Posh recorded their biggest home win, 8-1 over Oldham, a record that still stands.
