    Peterborough who went there the earliest?

    The similar thread on Swindon seemed to do well with nearly 70 replies although it did tend to degenerate into tales of violence towards the end, so here goes with Peterborough. Who went their earliest? I think I have a good shout here, Peterborough weren't elected to the League till 1960, and...
