Ten years ago, Harrison Burrows was in the Wembley crowd, cheering on his Peterborough heroes as they lifted the EFL Trophy.

It was a day the 22-year-old Peterborough Academy graduate and childhood fan described as the “best day of my life.”

But, a decade on, that has been surpassed after he became a club legend by scoring the most dramatic of late doubles in the final of the now-named Bristol Street Motors Trophy against Wycombe to lead his team to glory.

Nothing had separated the teams before five minutes of madness.

As Ephron Mason-Clark, one of the many talents destined for a higher level in this Posh team, returned the ball to Burrows, the left-back had one thought on his mind as he took a touch before firing past Franco Ravizzoli.

But, just as Peterborough’s name was being engraved on the trophy, a deep Wycombe free kick went unaddressed and Dale Taylor, who had been introduced moments earlier, scored a stunning 25-yard volley with his first touch.

Peterborough hearts were broken but Burrows coaxed his players up the pitch and when a Posh corner returned the ball, the left-back unleashed a ball full of typical quality.

The 40,000 spectators inside Wembley gasped as he continued on before stepping over the hapless Ravizzoli to deliver glory to Darren Ferguson’s team in this competition, 10 years after he oversaw their 2014 triumph.
