  • A group of volunteers got together with digital-works to film 28 interviews with Wimbledon fans. Alongside archive images and footage the interviews were edited to make this documentary film looking at the trials and tribulations of Wimbledon supporters from the 1950s to the present day.
    Original Music by Dick Philpot written and performed especially for this project.

    [PLEASE NOTE: Michael Padmanathan's first game was in 1986 NOT 1996 as stated in the film's caption]

    Big respect for Wimbledon,
    I was routing for them when fighting to get back in the divisions.
    Always had a good transfer relationship with my Millwall over the years and some good matches, we was sorry to see you go but happy to have you back.

    This is incredible and very moving. Thanks so much for making this amazing film and feels like the 'mouse that roared'. Valuable lessons here for everyone that wants to maintain communities and cohesion locally. AFC Wimbledon! Amazing.

    Glad to see Mick Pugh in here. he taught me at Rutlish, and was one of the few teachers there that really gave a toss about the kids. Got told years ago that he had died, and was genuinely gutted. Watched this and was totally made up. hope you're doing well Mr Pugh.

    That day in Manchester. The moment Danny scored, still the best day of my life.

    Amazing stories, especially 9-1 as a first game (Wimbledon Ladies also won by this scoreline away last season) and Stephen Crabtree from My Life As A Don in all the matchday programmes.

    I remember seeing Wimbledon vs Southampton in 1985-86, when Peter Shilton elbowed John Fashanu TWICE, getting away with it both times, my brother and I were stunned (neither of us are WFC fans)

    Great video but why do afc Wimbledon fans insist they won the fa Cup in 1988 etc when it was Wimbledon fc a different club? I know they are called Wimbledon but they can't claim glory for stuff thetdidnt do, it's like me and some blokes getting some shirts made up ,calling ourselves after Liverpool and claiming 5 euros and 20 championships lol

      You must be a chav,
      They are the same fans from the same area playing football built up from the original stadium, they're probably more Wimbledon now then they've ever been.
      There's an old saying and you're probably too young to know of it,
      Never is there a chairman bigger then the club and Never is there a club bigger then the fans.
      I'm not even a Wimbledon fan, but most clubs can only look on in administration to Wimbledon for being a small club with such a big heart big enough to come back from the dead.
      If MK mongs ever get in financial troubles down then line, long down the line like most clubs who have lasted and sat in the tables for over hundred years then I very much doubt MK would have the bollocks and passion to come back.

      Liverpool fc exists. The fans are the club. What is your favourite sport? I know it's not football. Your knowledge is meager.

      Because a team is not a legal entity a team is a community.
