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!
9. JOHN COZENS v JOEL RANDALL
The 73-74 side played 4-4-2 so a tough comparison to make, but captain Cozens (pictured) was their top scorer. Randall remains a decent work in progress as a number 10. VERDICT: Cozens. Photo: David Lowndes
10. JIM HALL v RICKY-JADE JONES
Hall (pictured) was a powerhouse centre-forward. Jones is far quicker and more mobile, but only one winner as a reliable goal-scorer. VERDICT: Hall. Photo: paul franks
11. TOMMY ROBSON v EPHRON MASON-CLARK
Robson (pictured) was a brilliantly tricky left-winger with great crossing skills and a regular scorer. Mason-Clark is powerful and a scorer of great goals. Just two superb players. VERDICT: Draw. Photo: David Lowndes
12. NOEL CANTWELL v DARREN FERGUSON
It's finished 5-4 to Cantwell's men with 2 draws he is the nominated manager ahead of the most decorated boss in Posh history. Cantwell (pictured) was known as 'The Messiah' for transforming a team struggling to stay in the Football League to title winners in 18 months. Ferguson will be known as the GOAT when he finally steps away. Photo: David Lowndes
