Afc Wimbledon

Underground, overground, wombling free

Uncle Bulgaria would be proud of this team, and yes I do mean Hristo Stoichkov, DUH.
First-​Hand Experience: I love this team. I loved watching them in their new, amazing home in 2011, and will do so again soon. I’ve also seen them live many times, both in their new and old incarnations. I’m a massive fan. Great facilities, great fight in the team to rise up through the leagues like they did.
I’m delighted that this is the 2^nd team in the actual football league I get to review because they are absolutely legendary.
See, here’s what happened. Wimbledon rose up through the leagues and were a real force to be reckoned with in the 80s, with current Hollywood star Vinny Jones, plus TV star John Fashanu, plus wise guy Dennis Wise, and all sorts of other crazy people. They were, of course, known as the «Crazy Gang.»
Then some evil money person decided to move them to Milton Keynes. That sh** happens in America. That does not happen in f***ing England. But it did. And the team disappeared. But then the fans formed a new one, and entered it into the league system way way down, many levels below. And they’ve been rising up the leagues ever since and are now back in the big time, into the football league!
It’s a far cry from beating LFC (my beloved LFC, they best team in the world) 1 – 0 in the FA Cup Final of 1988 (don’t mention Lawrie Sanchez, or John Aldridge having his PK saved by Dave Beasant… Beasant? Gold Balls? Becks?), but hey, it’s a start, and they’re well on their way back to the big time. If we can just get Oxford United and Wimbledon up to the Prem, it’ll feel like the 80s again and I can finally get a record deal.
By the way, they play in hideous dark blue with sexy bits of yellow sometimes, their old stadium was Plough Lane, new one is Kingsmeadow, and they’re from a rich part of London but you wouldn’t know by the thugs they call fans, which is kind of how it probably sort of should be innit?
Their stadium is in Kingston-​Upon-​Thames by the way. Can anyone say Grey Poupon? Also this club was unbeaten for the longest period in pro football, 78 games. Meanwhile MK Dons haven’t done sh**. Karma’s a bitch. No, she really is. I’m married to her.
