Posh have only ever been crowned champions twice in their Football League history, both times in Division Four.
The club’s first season as a Football League club ended in triumph for the 1960-61 side and the 1973-74 team of Noel Cantwell also won the title.
Cantwell's team didn’t lose a single home game (W19, D4) which remains a unique club achievement.
That’s what the current squad are trying to emulate in League One this season, but how do they match up against Cantwell’s team, the last to lift a trophy all those 50 years ago?
Comparisons with the 1960-61 squad can’t be done as the author didn’t see them play!
5. MICK JONES v RONNIE EDWARDS
Jones was strong alongside Turner, but Edwards (pictured) is sheer class and on a different level altogether to most Posh centre-backs. VERDICT: Edwards. Photo: Joe Dent
6. FREDDIE HILL v HECTOR KYPRIANOU
Hill was a midfield genius coming to the end of his career, while Kyprianou (pictured) is a class act who could yet become a genius. VERDICT: Draw. Photo: Joe Dent
7. PAUL WALKER v ARCHIE COLLINS
Walker was a dynamic, all-action midfielder who did Hill’s leg-work. Collins (pictured) is a fantastic all-round performer. A tough battle, but the current player gets the nod. VERDICT: Collins Photo: Joe Dent
8. BERT MURRAY v KWAME POKU
Murray was converted from right-back to the right-side of midfield so he can’t compare to the great natural attacking talent of Poku. VERDICT: Poku Photo: Joe Dent
