Is Ronnie the best there has ever been at Posh?
Ronnie Edwards has topped a PT poll to find the best Posh centre-back of all time.
The poll was conducted on X with Posh fans asked to nominate their top three in order.
A dozen players were nominated.
RESULTS 1 Ronnie Edwards
The classy ball-playing defender who left for Premier League Southampton last week.
2 Dave Robinson
The powerhouse centrehalf from the back-to-back promotion team under Chris Turner in the early 1990s. Signed for a club record £100k from Halifax.
3 Chris Turner
A brilliant Posh defender before he became a brilliant Posh manager.
4 Ryan Bennett
A cultured centre-back who starred as Posh won promotion to the Championship in 2011. Sold to Norwich City for £3 million
5 Ian Ross
Outstanding former Aston Villa defender who teamed up with Turner as Posh conceded a club record low of 33 goals in the 1977-78 season.
6 Gaby Zakuani
Bennett’s regular central defensive partner. Known
as ‘The Wall’ for obvious reasons.

The skipper of the Posh promotion winning side under Barry Fry in 1999-2000.

11 Josh Knight
A star alongside Ronnie Edwards last season and now in Germany with Hannover 96.
12 Guy Branston
A whole-hearted, hard-asnails old school centre-back who took no prisoners.
