Wimbledon Fc FA Cup 20th Anniversary Memories Part 1

The 14th May 1988 was Wimbledon FC's greatest day when they took on Liverpool the red hot favourites and beat them 1-0. Now twenty years later here's some memories of the lead up to the actual game. I have supported Wimbledon since 1961 and since its demise and move to Milton Keynes now support AFC Wimbledon playing in the Ryman Premier League.

Not really but it has passed the litmus test applied for league 2 requirements so it will do for the time being, ultimately a new ground within the borough of merton is the preferred option

thanks for watching

as a red, i was a heartbroken 8 yr old kid when Wimbledon did us at wembley in 1988 but fair play to your lot. i think its a real shame wot has happened 2 your club since relagation from the prem in 2000. i think the F.A. shuda done alot more 2 keep your club in London, cant believe the clubs' identity has been completely took apart since. if Liverpool were ever 2 get MK Dons in the cup i wonder if '88 will ever get a mention. to me, they're not the same club.

thanks for the comments, you don't have to worry AFC Wimbledon are now playing in the Blue Square South and will eventually overhaul MK Dons the fakes, I'm waiting for the day when the fixture AFC Wimbledon v MK Dons comes up that will be one hell of a match !

Born in Tooting, spent the first 31 years of my life in Wimbledon. Started supporting them Non-League at Plough Lane and went to nearly every game home & away until 2000 when I moved to the USA. I was there that day and still cannot belive it, an incredable 11 years for the Don's (non-league to FA cup winners) - If I was still in the UK, I would be at EVERY AFC Wimbledon game ! (screw the MK Don's)

Yes if I still lived in UK I would be there too believe me unfortunately I cut my ties in 1981 and have lived here in Qld Australia for the last 27 years but still get back now and again and always try and go to an AFC game

thanks for watching

is Kingsmeadow suitable for League Two? I just watched the video and shouted the goals like mad! We won the FA Cup on my 15 th birthday. I'm an ex-pat too by the way (live in Paraguay)

Vinny Jones saying "Does she really love us? Better not tell Youngy that, he'd try and pull her!" Funny as fuck!

I'm not a Wimbledon fan, but it was a massive shame we were still banned from Europe when Wimbledon won the cup - would have been great to see them on that stage. Good luck to AFC!

[DaveBond21]

It was an unbelievable story, from non-league to Cup winners in a decade. I hope AFC Wimbledon do something similar.
