This is not necessarily a definitive list, but the ‘Who’s Who of Posh’ and ‘The History of Peterborough United’ books proved invaluable.

7. FLYNN CLARKE
First Posh goal: 17 years 8 months 20 days, v Burton Albion, 2020.

8. LEO DA SILVA LOPES
First Posh goal: 17 years 8 months 24 days v Swansea, 2016. Another midfielder from the Posh youth set up.
