Sergio Torres
Posh do have a habit of lending us decent players. Harry Anderson is an obvious shout, and Rene Howe should have been better, but few were quite as good as the only Argentinian to ever play for Lincoln. He was a talented and tricky midfielder brought in on loan immediately after the dismissal of Peter Jackson, in readiness for Chris Sutton’s first game as Lincoln manager. He wasn’t signed by either manager, so neither can take credit; that’s going to be handed to Peterborough for letting him come and whoever at Lincoln made it happen.
He made an immediate impact for Sutton, scoring in his first game as we beat Aldershot 1-0. His signing was immensely popular with the fans who felt a player of his skill would be a great addition to the side, and if we could afford him permanently it would be a signal of our intention. Sadly, we couldn’t.
He scored again as we beat Telford in the FA Cup but returned to Peterborough once his time was up. He was rumoured to be a target in the 2010-11 close season but he opted to move to Crawley in the Blue Square Premier. His choice was vindicated as he scored six times and they were promoted as champions that season as we slipped out of the Football League.
