41 Paul Malone: 15 goals from centre-back and a commanding figure in the meanest defence in the league and yet Corby still claim they are glad he left them.

41 Dan Lawlor: Ex-Posh youngster. A midfielder who likes to get stuck in, even in training against teammates.

40 Lewis Hilliard: High-class, goal-scoring midfielder with experience of playing for bigger clubs at a better level. That class shone through at times.

40 Mark Jones: Played higher with Boston and Gainsborough and it showed. Leads the forward line with passion.

39 Josh McCammon: Ex-Northampton Town player who saw the light and moved to Peterborough. Regular goalscoring midfielder at back end of campaign.

38 Dan Bucciero: A gifted right-back who almost signed for Peterborough Northern Star for this season. A bad-training comedian, according to the club website.

38 Richard Jones: Rock-solid centre-back and a nice chap to boot.

37Josh Moreman: Outrageously talented winger with an eye for goal. Learnt his skills at the mighty Netherton United.

29 Stuart Wall: Fought back from a bad injury to play a crucial role in a dominant defence.

26 Dion Sembie-Ferris: Key signing in October from St Neots. Also played 20 times for Colchester United. Exc iting, attacking player.
