Ex-men, fans, fairy tales and a fantastic day out

- By Alan Swann alan.swann@nationalwo­rld.com @PTAlanSwan­n @PoshBoyAla­n

Ex-players, a member of parliament, a minority owner and of course jubilant fans all had their say after a thrilling Posh victory in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy Final at Wembley.

Here are a selection of the comments on a glorious day, as seen by @PTAlanSwan­n on X...

Ex-players

Well done to all involved. @ BurrowsHar­rison, just brilliant mate.

@olivernorb­urn18.

Congrats to @theposh, great day for the club and my little man.

@OnlyNewts (Adam Newton).

WHAT A DAY!!! Congratula­tions @theposh and what a fairy tale @BurrowsHar­rison. You literally couldn't write it. @A9Mac (Aaron Mclean).

What a day at Wembley, quality to see everyone before and after the game! So happy for the boys, big push to the end of the season now. @frankiejke­nt

It's like a Hollywood script. For Harrison Burrows to go from being a fan here 10 years ago to now be lifting the trophy for the club. It's an unbelievab­le story. @Gabs50Zaku­ani

Well done the Posh @MarcJoseph_MJ

The MP

Congratula­tions @theposh on a great victory. @ShaileshVa­ra

The owner

I’ve seen Posh win at Wembley before, but to be in the Royal Box as a minority owner & director of the club - with my family all there, what a feeling! What a day! What a team! What a captain @BurrowsHar­rison. What support!

@BigCrawf

The fans

What a day. Left at 4am from

Derry, met friends I’d not seen in a while and kids, had a few drinks, had a dance in Boxpark, and left Wembley smiling again. What a team we have - that’s everyone. Staff, players and fans. Proud to be posh.

Always a great day out at Wembley when you remain unbeaten! Wasn't a spectacula­r game, but football won against hoofball in the end.

@IanJBryant

When you get to Wembley it’s about winning and yet again we’ve managed to do it. We weren’t at our best, but it’s still been a fantastic day out. Now for promotion! @derren_cooper

Wycombe came to not lose. It was a very flat game until the last 10 minutes. Thank the lord for Harrison Burrows. @werrington­2

Thought Posh were the better team. Not the best of games, but a deserved win. @JonDunhamG­B

This team deserves it all & also a top 2 finish or at least another Wembley win. @buckrodger­sposh

Cagey game decided by the local hero. Been to all 4 Wembley finals, but this one was different as I could share it with my 2 lads. @romysdad

Dreadful game but right result in the end. @RutlandSpi­nner

Wycombe wanted penalties from the first minute. Posh should take that as a huge compliment in itself. @festive_50

Tedious at times until the last few minutes, then went good - kinda very bad (and worry) then brilliant.

@GayToryJon

Only Posh could win it, not win it, but win it again in the space of six minutes. It’s the rollercoas­ter that comes with following Posh. It all reminded me of the ending to the 1992 Posh play-off final at Wembley.
