Peterborough shock Birmingham in final to retain Vertu Trophy
Final: Birmingham 0-2 PeterboroughMills and Kyprianou strike to sink League One champions
A relative newcomer to English football, Tom Brady would admit he has much to learn. The Vertu Trophy final rolled out a not-yet-lost tradition, a Ferguson Clan Wembley heist, as Darren Ferguson, in his fourth spell with Peterborough, collected the lower-league trophy for the third time.
If ambitions are set far higher at big-spending Birmingham, failure to collect the trophy to accompany promotion was a dark disappointment for their fans. League One’s champions were beaten by two superb Posh goals and opponents who appeared ready for a team previously far too good all season for the rest of the division.
