WOPA Update - Six More Ex-Players Sign Up
Find Out The Latest Additions

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)
