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 starting with numbers 51-60.
Posh personalities, from left, Darragh MacAnthony, Darren Ferguson and Barry Fry.
1992: Posh took advantage of cash-strapped neighbours Northampton to sign Bobby Barnes (centre) and Tony Adcock (right) who were instrumental in securing promotion to Division One months later.
2019: Posh were sixth, they'd sat in a play-off place all season bar one week and they'd just played okay in a 0-0 draw with Charlton. Didn't stop the sacking of manager Steve Evans though.
1978: Alan Slough scored a hat-trick of penalties for Posh in a 4-3 defeat at Chester.
1997: Barry Fry's turbulent first year at the club was laid bare in a stunning Anglia TV documentary.
