Barry Fry's 16-year spell on the Peterborough United board came to end on February 1, the day after he was fined £35,000 and banned for four months by the Football Association for breaking its rules against betting.

The 'termination of appointment' notice was posted on the Companies House website on Friday, two days after the FA released the written reasons for the 73-year-old's punishment.

Fry first joined Peterborough's board in the unusual role of chairman-manager in 1996, before standing down as chairman a year later. He returned to the board in 2003 and, having served nine years in the dugout, became director of football in 2005.
