Peterborough defender Steven Taylor resorts to sweeping snow off the pitch mid-game

It was well worth the effort in the end as the Posh claimed a 2-1 win.

PETERBOROUGH UNITEDโ€™S LEAGUE One fixture with Walsall somehow didnโ€™t fall victim to the Beast from the East last night.

With heavy snow continuing to come down at the ABAX Stadium, the pitch was completely covered for much of the 90 minutes. At one stage, veteran defender Steven Taylor even took it upon himself to grab a brush from the sideline and start feverishly sweeping out the invisible markings.

And the ex-Newcastle United manโ€™s work paid off as the full match was completed and the Posh earned their first win in eight games with Steve Evans, who has since been named their new manager, watching on.

    Very good poacher. Often overlooked and unfairly ridiculed. About 20 of those 41 caps came in the last 5 or 10 minutes of games. Remember his goal v Turkey in a friendly where he ran rings around Alpay

    Ya coz a country like ours (without a professional league) should be embarrassed at not reaching the q finals as a minimum.

    Correction ; The Spain game was in the rounds of 16 โ€“ doesnโ€™t have the same ring as the quarter finals does it., still warranted a Joe Duffy welcome in the Phoenix Park which was embarrassing.

    Martin; read my comment properly. Iโ€™m referring to the homecoming which was embarrassing- not the teams performance.
