When I was about that tall, my parents moved us darn sarf. I was already a committed Evertonian, and when we passed Walton and Hersham, they were playing in blue, so I says to me arl feller, ‘I’m supporting them!’ Sadly it was their second strip, and for a couple of years I followed a team playing in (shudder) red and white. Your lot were already into what was then the Southern league, but were still local rivals. Indeed, I remember a large part of Wimbledon’s surge was down to Allen Batsford, and several players from W&H. Now, football at that level was and is totally real.

When Wimbledon (Sanchez?) scored at Wembley, I jumped up and punched the air so high I smashed the light fitting. Admittedly that was at least 75% joy that the RS were losing, but I always retained a soft spot for Wimbledon, even when they were playing the ugliest of games. I wish AFC the best of fortunes and hope to see them in the league, giving MKD the kind of beating a pseudo-club like that deserves..

Dane Bowers greatest hits? Is that the sang song re-mixed 12 times?

I really wanted to be able to add to that, give my own little take on the day’s events, but Danny’s said it all really. Games like those make you feel good about football, you’ll walk around the ground with a smile on your face and witness a really, really good standard of football from a club that’s two promotions away from league football. People chat away to you while waiting for a burger, wombles wave at you whilst warming up with the players (seriously) and players will acknowledge the crowd.

If you do get the time, go and see the Dons play. It’s a club you can’t help but go all gooey over.

Gutted I didn’t go to that game yesterday, I spent 8 hours cutting out pictures of footballers for our new comp (coming soon). Go on the Dons!!
