THE lucky winner of our competition to be Peterborough United's mascot for a day was Nehemiah Goodridge, aged nine, of Doddington.
Nehemiah led the Posh out on January 26 for their Championship fixture against Preston North End, who are now led by former Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson.
And it was Ferguson who had the last laugh at London Road - because Preston won 1-0.
Nehemiah's parents correctly answered that Peterborough's leading goal scorer last season was Craig Mackail-Smith.
His prize included a tour of Peterborough's London Road stadium, a visit to the dressing rooms to meet the players and management, match tickets for two adults and two children and a Peterborough home strip.
He took his friend Reece Fellwell and parents Romney and Maureen Goodridge.
