The Spirit of Wimbledon - Living Memories of the Dons from 1922-2003 |
A book worthy of a readership well beyond its sporting horizons. This wonderful blend of history and eye-witness accounts covers Wimbledon football from its nineteenth-century beginnings, the post-war amateur game, FA cup success, the Premiership, the cynical move to Milton Keynes and the phoenix-like emergence of the supporters' club, AFC Wimbledon. A story packed with local heroes, by no means all of them footballers, the reminiscences of the contributors make this hard to put down.
