The Wombles are fictional characters created by British author Elisabeth Beresford, originally appearing in a series of children's novels from 1968. The characters later became nationally famous in the mid 1970s as a result of a popular BBC children's television show using stop motion animation. A number of spin-off novelty songs also became major hits in the British music charts.
Wombles are pointy-nosed furry creatures that live in burrows, where they help the environment by collecting and recycling rubbish in useful and ingenious ways. This "green" message was ahead of its time in the 1970s. Although Wombles live in every country in the world, the stories focus on the life of the Wimbledon Common burrow in London, England. Beresford reportedly invented the name "Womble" when one of her young children referred to Wimbledon Common as "Wombledon Common".
Due to the Wombles' association with the area, sporting teams representing Wimbledon are sometimes affectionately dubbed "the Wombles". For a brief period during the 1990s, Wimbledon F.C. used a Womble as a club mascot, and in 2006 the club's purported spiritual successor AFC Wimbledon launched its own Womble mascot. After a naming competition in which the final name was chosen by Elisabeth Beresford herself, the club announced that the new Womble would be known as "Haydon", after Haydons Road, the nearest railway station to the club's original home ground, Plough Lane.
