Barnsley keeper Luke Steele holds the ball for 2 minutes to send Peterborough down

The manic final day of the Championship had many crazy moments – this may have been the most mental.

As news spread through that Peterborough were 3-2 down at Crystal Palace, they had been 2-1 up, the situation at Huddersfield v Barnsley changed dramatically.

Both Yorkshire sides knew their 2-2 draw would keep them up and effectively agreed the tie there and then.

What transpired was Barnsley keeper Luke Steele dribbling in his own area for at least two minutes with not an opposition player anywhere near coming to challenge him.

Most of the 20 outfield players congregated in the centre circle whilst Steele dribbled the ball in his own area with the clock running down.

This continued right up until the final whistle, with both sets of fans celebrating staying up.

Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of this collusion, which stretches the rule book to its limit, is that Luke Steele’s place of birth is…

Peterborough!
