They had no money, tiny gates, a very small support base yet they scared the **** out of everyone.

In boxing terms, "pound-for-pound", yes ..I think they probably were. They achieved remarkable sucess and regularly beat the likes of Man. Utd, Liverpool, and all the big clubs. Plus, they stayed at the top level for 13 years with practically no money at all.
They always got slagged off for just playing long-ball football, but the so-called better teams were never able to cope with it. They just played to their own strengths, and it worked for them. And they never had the cash to go and buy clever players.
Its a real scandal what's happened since to that club, and the FA should be shot for allowing the chairman to "franchise" them. I dont feel that Milton Keynes have any connection to the old Wimbledon at all, they are really just a brand new club who the FA allowed to buy the League place of an existing one.
But its good to see the fans of the old Wimbledon keeping the faith with their "fans club" AFC Wimbledon, and maybe soon they''ll be back in the League, because they are doing pretty well..

Best fitness yes, best thugs yes, best commitment yes.
Other than that they did not play good football.
All the best AFC
