17. JERMAINE ANDERSON
First Posh goal aged 18 years 03 months 14 days v Colchester, August 30, 2014. One of the youngest Posh players having made his debut in a Championship game aged 16, much was expected of this midfielder and he was looking the part when two serious knee injuries set him back. Scored 8 goals in 97 Posh appearances, 5 of them in 4 games under Graham Westley's management. His first goal came in a 3-1 League One win at Colchester. The former Arsenal youth team player is now at Woking of the National League. Photo: david lowndes

19. FLYNN CLARKE
First Posh goal aged 17 years 08 months 20 days, v Burton Albion, September 8, 2020.
