Peterborough were hosting Walsall in a League One clash but heavy snow in the second half meant the pitch was hardly visible.
The Posh were 2-1 up in the 80th minute when the referee halted play to ensure snow could be cleared off the pitch.
And it was former England U21 captain and Newcastle centre-half Steven Taylor who was the hero of the hour.
Taylor was seen desperately shovelling snow to make the lines visable so play could continue.
“Steven Taylor is a hero,” one fan wrote on Twitter.

Another said: “Steven Taylor not only clears the backline he now helps clear the lines on the pitch.”
“So Steven taylor was literally playing the ‘sweeper’ role tonight. #PUFC,” said another supporter.
There was a seven minute break in play as the ground staff and home players brushed the snow on the pitch.
Peterborough eventually ran out 2-1 winners to earn their first victory in eight games.
