Position: Goalkeeper 1973-74 apps/goals: 26/0

Drewery, a one-club man, is a forgotten star of the titlewinning side.

He was the club’s number one’keeper until Eric Steele arrived on loan from Newcastle early in January, 1974.

SteelesoonreplacedDrewery and became a firm fans’ favourite, and it’s his name most supporters from that era associate with Cantwell’s side.

But Drewery played more games that season (26-20) so his role should never be under-estimated. He kept a club record seven successive clean sheets during the successful campaign.

Drewery joined Posh in 1967 as an understudy to Welsh international Tony Millington, but was first-choice ‘keeper for four seasons up until Steele’s arrival, racking up 234 appearances.

Murray had won six England Under 23 caps and a League Cup winners medal while with Chelsea (he made almost 200 appearances for the Blues) and played alongside the likes of George Graham and Terry Venables, but also played for Birmingham and Brighton before joining Posh.

Murray was a right-sided midfielder in the title-winning side, but was playing right-back towards the end of his career which ended at the end of the 1975-76 season after 147 games and 12 goals for Posh.
