WATCH: Peterborough United at Wembley: 'Wembley Dreams' - a poem for Posh on Cup Final week

With Peterborough United just 90 minutes away from more Wembley success, a former city Poet Laureate – and die hard Posh fan – has penned a poem looking back at his beloved team’s wins at the famous old stadium – and looking forward to even more success under the arch.

Sunday’s Bristol Street Motors Trophy final will be the fourth time Peterborough United have played at Wembley – winning the previous three matches.

Toby Wood – the first ever Peterborough Poet Laureate – has been at all three previous matches – and his poem ‘Wembley Dream,’ captures the essence of following your team on the big occasions – and the difference more than 30 years makes when making the magical trips. He also predicts the result – and goalscorers – of this weekend’s match...
