It was the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy back then and League One Posh, who start their 2022-23 EFL Trophy campaign at home to Stevenage on Tuesday (7.30pm), triumphed 3-1 over League Two Chesterfield at the National Stadium in front of 35,663 fans.
On-loan forward Josh McQuoid and centre-back Shaun Brisley gave Posh an early 2-0 lead before Eoin Doyle pulled a goal back for Chesterfield early in the second-half.
Posh midfielder Joe Newell was then sent off midway through the second-half by referee Andy D’Urso after kicking out at an opponent, but a penalty from Britt Assombalonga 12 minutes from time sealed victory for a Posh side managed by Darren Ferguson.
It was a gifted Chesterfield side managed by Paul Cook who also included current Ipswich Town midfielder Sam Morsy, current Bolton manager Ian Evatt and current Leeds United centre-back Liam Cooper in their starting line-up.
Here we look at what happened to the Posh heroes from that day….
