Wimbledon Old
Players Association is delighted to announce that an
additional six new members have joined since launch.
Andy Clarke
Electric-paced striker, affectionately known as Sonic The
Hedgehog. Andy made his name with Barnet before signing for
Wimbledon for ,000 in 1991, a then record fee for a
non-league player. Frequently used as a super-sub Andy
terrorised tiring defenders. After leaving Wimbledon, he had
a highly successful spell with Peterborough United and has
only recently retired from playing.
League Appearances 74+99 (1991-1999)
Lee Harwood
Former Southampton apprentice, whose SW19 career was
blighted by injury - typified by a hamstring tear which
forced him out of his Wimbledon debut against Darlington in
1979 after just 20 minutes (his only ever first team start).
Later went on to Port Vale (19 appearances - 1 goal) and
then Leatherhead. An unsung but instrumental figure in the
Wimbledon Common AFCW player trials in 2002, Lee became
Terry Eames' Assistant Manager in the inaugural CCL season,
before moving to Netherne to coach alongside 'Trigger'
Mulcaire.
League Appearances 1 (1979)
Danny Oakins
Fiery tough tackling central defender that liked to push
forward, Danny was particularly adept with the ball at his
feet. Danny was one half of the formidable central defence
partnership, with Mat Everard the other, that conceeded only
32 league goals in the 2003/4 season. Left the Club at the
start of the 2004/5 season and had a brief spell with Sutton
United before signing for Whyteleafe with Lee Sidwell.
League Appearances 71+5 (2002-2004)
Terry Phelan
Multi talented left back, signed by Wimbledon for ,000 from
Swansea City in July 1987. A member of the 1988 FA Cup
winning side, he was Britain's most expensive defender, when
Manchester City paid million for his signature in 1992.
Capped 42 times for the Republic of Ireland. Returned to
London in 1995, when Chelsea paid ,000 for his services and
was a frequent visitor to Selhurst Park when playing
commitments allowed. Terry also had spells with Everton,
Fulham and Sheffield United. Terry now coaches in the USA.
League Appearances 155+6 (1987-1992)
Glyn Shimmel
Shims conceed the first ever goal scored by AFC Wimbledon,
whilst playing for Bromley in a pre-season friendly. After
signing for AFC Wimbledon, he made the number 1 shirt his own,
pulling off some memorable saves in the first season in the CCL.
Was studying 'the knowledge' whilst at AFC Wimbledon and left at
the end of the 2002/2003 season to spend more time with his
new-born twins.
League Appearances 24 (2002-2003)
Neil Sullivan
Sully came through the ranks at Plough Lane, turning
professional in 1988. Was understudy to Hans Segers throughout
the early 1990's, finally dislodging Segers in March 1995 but
then broke a leg in the final game of the season at home to
Nottingham Forest. Returned in January 1996, establishing
himself as one of the finest shot-stoppers in the games.
Virtually ever present until he moved on a free transfer to
Tottenham Hotspur. Won international recognition with Scotland,
whilst with Wimbledon and was named in the Scotland squad for
France 1998. Sully is currently playing for Leeds United.
League Appearances 180+1 (1988-2000)
