    Posh Legend David Farrell completed the London Marathon to raise funds for the Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice.

    Former Peterborough United player and current Community Manager Dave Farrell completed the London Road marathon in four hours and 23 minutes, raising thousands of pounds for the Sue Ryder Thorpe Hospice.

    Farrell, who dyed his hair blonde for the local charity, admitted he hit the 'wall' at 19 miles, but 'plodded' on to the finish where he had an emotional embrace with his family.

    'It was emotional at the end. My eyes were filling up. When I saw my wife it was a good moment because she was a bit worried about me finishing. She was trying to track my progress on the website and mine stopped after three and a quarter hours completely so she was concerned as to what had happened!
