The other Peterborough United legends who could have been written into a historical home shirt

Peterborough United are blessed with scores of legendary figures so picking just 20 to adorn a new home shirt was the devil's own job.

In the opinion of this writer it was a superb idea to have the likes of ‘The Holy Trinity’ written onto the pleasingly traditional all-blue shirt. It’s also provoked plenty of comment which won’t be a bad thing marketing-wise as the shirt will remain in the news for a little longer.

But it also fair to question some of the choices. The 20 names in use – Terry Bly, Bobby Barnes, George Boyd, Noel Cantwell, Jack Carmichael, Ken Charlery, Andy Clarke, John Cozens, David Farrell, Darren Ferguson, Jim Hall, Mick Halsall, Noel Luke, Aaron McLean, Craig Mackail-Smith, Peter McNamee, Tommy Robson, Chris Turner, Mark Tyler, David Seaman – are all worthy figures in Posh history, but there are some notable omissions including those we have included in this article.

Posh have confirmed players still active were not considered which ruled out Ivan Toney, Harrison Burrows and Jonson Clarke-Harris among others. Current managers were however included.
