POSH!

I wonder how many of you know about Chris Turner? He was one of the great unsung heroes. During the 1970s Chris was a player, captain, manager, commercial manager and joint owner of the Posh, Peterborough United. He oversaw their greatest triumph in the Football League when the club was elevated to the second tier after beating Stockport County at Wembley 2-1. Chris died from dementia  in April 2015, an illness his wife put down to heading heavy footballs. The club and his wife, Lynne, commissioned Sean Hedges Quinn to create a lasting memory of Chris for the Peterborough "faithful" . Hedges has sculptured Bobby Robson Ted Bates, Alf Ramsey and Bob Stoke, so he knows exactly what is needed. The fund has raised the money to have this memorial completed and any excesses will be used to support various charities.
