    I like john green and what he did for wimbledon, but he didnt save wimbledon. the fans saved it, from holding trials on the common and bring it up from the amateur leagues to where it is now. john found out about it fell in love with it and took an active participatory role in helping the club, but he didnt save it and i think he would be the first to tell you that.

      +Drums & Bass Kinda irrelevant, because nobody said he alone saved them. It does say "helped save"...which doesn't mean solely. He did help...so there really should be no debate about it. Also, John is a fan...so kinda redundant to say he didn't.

    • @drumsbass8417
      @drumsbass8417 8 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      LucidDream I want to be clear i'm not dissing john or anything. You wont find anyone connected to the club that has a bad word to say about him or what he has bought for the club. Its the issue with Vice saying he helped save the club.
      The saving of the club was all done in the noughties by the fans and the local community. I remember very well when old wimbledon moved to Milton Keynes. It was the fans who went in their thousands to watch their team play in local parks, pretty much. And the local businesses that went out of their way to sponsor them or give discounts to AFC Wimbledon members, or have the staff uniform as the AFC wimbledon shirt like Flame barbecue. Sports interactive who make football manager who are based in wimbledon, sponsored them from the start.
      By the time John had come to learn about the story of the Dons, they were already a stable club, who would usually play to much more fans than any other team in their division at the time, with a stable busniess plan.
      I'm not trying to say john hasnt done anything for the club. he's done way way more than me for instance and trust me everyone absolutely loves him and its hoped his connections will help the club kick on to the next level. He is helping the club immensely and no one will ever not say that.
      What i'm saying is that the club was saved in the first 5 years of its inception by the community when it was at the point it couldnt go further down. From then on its actually been a pretty successful club achieving successive promotions, getting a lot of coverage and having the fanbase consistently grow year on year.

I will be a fan for as long as I live.

Best of luck to AFC Wimbledon and John Green on their rise together through English Football and maybe one day we’ll see them playing in the Premiership.

    This video made me so happy! I'm so happy that John & Hank can touch and influence others lives. He could have easily not gave them Ad money for sponsorship. And the fact all these people had no idea who he was, ugh I love how they break so many barriers in the TH-cam community.

  • @ninjaahjumma

    John Green's love of AFC Wimbledon is simply infectious. I don't like football or any sport for that matter, but I got involved because of John and because of how passionate he is about it. That's the power of John Green.

    4:45 - one of my favourite memories of being at the League 2 Playoff final on Monday was looking around to my friends going 'wait, how does that Akinfenwa chant that John Green made up go?!' and we started chanting this for most of the final 10 minutes of the game, even louder when the man himself scored!

    I've been following John (and Hank) since 2007 or 2008. I've been aware of John's sports accounts and his gaming channel, but never followed them because I don't play video games and I've never followed soccer/football. The people and stories behind teams are important for me. One of the reasons that I like the Green Bay Packers is that they are owned by fans. This just made me want to be an AFC Wimbledon fan. Thanks, John.

    5:17 I felt like that british guy made it out to seem as if John Green was a producer/ writer extraordinaire before starting his TH-cam channel which is not the case (I mean him being a writer first is true but we all know he started off on TH-cam, and then the major success with the movies and books came after he had garnered an amazing following on TH-cam)

    • @beeveearr

I also hate how he made it sound like people watch just for the bald john green other john green etc when John talks over his games telling you about his life and things, THATS what we started watching for, not for random fifa, but now so many of us are into this.

    Little by little, actual Americans are now rooting for AFC Wimbledon. The "American underdog story" is not just American, its universal, and this resonates with all true Americans who hear it.

    • @JoeTheHobo2
      @JoeTheHobo2 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +Ostrich160 While +miloent may have worded that statement poorly I think a reason many view the underdog story (while being truly universal) as American is because it is so very ingrained in our culture. When you ask an American about the values that are true across the country many would tell you that being able to make something out of nothing with hard work and determination, as the thing that resonates across the country. Whether or not that is actually true is another story but the idea of it is very deep-seated.

    • @devoyinator
      @devoyinator 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Tyler Grandis +Ostrich160
      The underdog story is pretty international and universal as you said, but some countries do resonate with it more than others, and both the UK and US are two of those.
      The American idea of an underdog, similar to what you said, is the idea of the American dream. Social mobility. People rising from the bottom to the top with some hard graft and elbow grease.
      In British culture it's more to do with history, such as the Battle of Britain in WW2 standing alone against the Nazis as London burned, and fending off the massive Spanish Armada in 1588, Rorke's Drift and the Charge of the Light Brigade.
