Glenn Aitken
Former Chelsea junior who made 21 League appearances for Gillingham before joining Wimbledon in 1974. Won three Southern League titles with the Dons and combined working in the Plough Lane office with a midfield playing role the Fourth Division. Later had spells at several Kent clubs before retiring. Ran an advertising agency in Bedford and was Gravesend & Northfleet’s Chief Executive until October 2004.         
League Appearances: 79 (1974-1977)

Neal Ardley
Wimbledon through and through, Neal came through the Wimbledon ranks. Neal always wore his heart on his sleave. One of the first Dons to show their support for AFC Wimbledon, he was always a crowd favourite. Neal went on to play with Cardiff and Millwall. Neal announced his retirement through injury on 30 August 2007 and is set to return to the Bluebirds as youth academy manager.

League Appearances 362+53 (1991-02)

Bob Ardrey
Bobby was an England schoolboy international who played for Chelsea's junior and youth teams before joining Wimbledon. He quickly established himself as the first choice right-half during the 1956/57 season, although when required he could play anywhere across the half-back line. Bobby was a cornerstone of the successful amateur side of the 1960s and appeared in the 1963 FA Amateur Cup final. He remained with the club until 1971.
League Appearances: 284 (1956-71)

Eddie Bailham
In the Peter Osgood mould, what Eddie lacked in energy he made up for in talent. He was a first-team regular for the Dons at the end of Les Henley's reign, but his star waned under the succession of managers that followed.
League Appearances: 127+6 (1967-72)

Dave Bassett
Known simply as Harry, he arrived at the club with Allen Batsford in 1974. A combatitive midfielder, he was instrumental in Wimbledon's drive to Football League status. However, it is as a manager of the club that he will be truly remembered. Bassett created the Crazy Gang spirit with the likes of Wally Downes and Glyn Hodges. He took over in 1980 and guided the club to the top flight. A true Wimbledon legend.
League Appearances 133+1 (1974-79)

Allen Batsford
Arguably the greatest manager Wimbledon FC ever had. Allen arrived from Walton & Hersham in 1974 with half of their FA Amateur Cup winning side, and the Dons never looked back. He guided the club to three successive Southern League titles and election to the Football League in 1977. He will also be remembered for the historic 1-0 win over then top-division Burnley in the FA Cup, as well as the goalless draw at Leeds in the next round.

Dave Beasant
Lurch's Wimbledon career was over almost as soon as it began. On his début he let in a goal through his legs. His saviour that night was Wally Downes, who said that it would be the making of him. Nine years later he lifted the FA Cup as club captain. His heroic save from the spot on 14 May 1988 secured his place in Dons folklore. He left for Newcastle a few days after the Cup Final and went on to play for England.
League Appearances: 340 (1979-88)

Andy Bell
Formerly on Millwall's books, Andy established himself as first-choice goalkeeper in the 2002 friendlies and played in the historic opening Combined Counties League fixtures at Sandhurst Town and at home to Chipstead. 'Ding Dong' was released in 2003 and went on to have spells at Fisher Athletic and Erith Town.
League Appearances: 4 (2002)

Micky Bennett
Micky joined the Dons from Charlton and made an instant impression, scoring the winner on his début against champions Arsenal in the 90th minute.
League Appearances: 12+6 (1989-92)

Victor Bird (Deceased)
Tall, elegant striker Vic Bird made 73 appearances in all competitions for the Dons, scoring 21 goals. His career highlights included scoring in the 5-0 win against Tooting & Mitcham in the 1949 Surrey Senior Cup Final in front of more than 15,000 at Selhurst Park.

Victor sadly passed away in 2007. WISA and WOPA offer their deepest condolences to Victor's family and friends, he will be missed.

League Appearances: 45 (1948-51)

Gavin Bolger
Gavin joined the Dons in October 2002. An ex-Wimbledon FC reserve-team player, he had bags of talent and was popular with the crowd. He won Combined Counties League and Ryman First Division championship medals, but by 2004 had become a squad player and in 2005 he left the club in search of first-team football.
League Appearances: 79+17 (2002-05)

Les Briley
Les took over the mantle vacated by Dave Bassett in 1977, when Harry moved upstairs at Plough Lane. A hard-working midfielder, he was never afraid to get stuck in. He eventually moved to Millwall, where he became the lynchpin of the side that won promotion to the top flight in 1988.
League Appearances: 59+2 (1977-80)

Les Brown
Les joined from Dulwich Hamlet in December 1961 and was the final piece in the jigsaw that produced the team that won the Amateur Cup and three successive Isthmian League titles. An established amateur international who had played mostly at inside-forward, Les was signed to play on the right wing. He made an immediate impressio,n with four goals in his début against Oxford City. Almost ever present in the following two seasons, he made about 170 first-team appearances in all, scoring almost 100 goals.
League Appearances: 103 (1961-66)

Jeff Bryant
An ex-England youth international, Jeff formed a formidable central defensive pairing alongside Dave Donaldson. He also scored the Dons' first goal in the Football League in the opening 3-3 draw with Halifax Town. His career took off under the stewardship of Allen Batsford, and he was a key member of the Dons side that pushed for Football League status. He never fully adjusted to the move to professionalism at Wimbledon and moved to Bournemouth on a free transfer in 1979.
League Appearances: 213+3 (1972-79)

Ben Canham
Came through the Wimbledon Common trials to make the AFC Wimbledon squad for their second ever friendly at Dulwich Hamlet, where he appeared as a second half substitute. Now appointed AFC Wimbledon's Youth Development Programme Assistant Manager and still pulls on his boots to represent the Dons Trust FC.
League Appearances: 0 (2002)

Craig Carley
Teenage right-sided midfielder who came through the Wimbledon Common trials to make the squad for the 2002 Sutton friendly. After a loan spell at Netherne, moved to Walton Casuals where his 29 goals in their CCL title winning season saw Dave Anderson bring him back to Kingsmeadow. Made just two Ryman Premier appearances as substitute before returning to Franklyn Road. Voted the Non League Paper Level 5 Player of the Season in 2004/5.
League Appearances: 0+2 (2002 & 2005)

Andy Clarke
Electric-paced striker, affectionately known as Sonic The Hedgehog. Andy made his name with Barnet before signing for Wimbledon for £300,000 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 (1991-99)

Andy Clement
a Cardiff-born defender who rose through the Wimbledon junior ranks to play top-flight football. A Welsh youth international, Andy spent most of his Dons career on the fringes of the Wimbledon team during the club's first three seasons in the top flight. He had loan spells at Bristol Rovers and Newport before David Kemp signed him for Plymouth in 1990. He later played Conference football for Woking. He played in the Wimbledon v Liverpool rematch match in 2004, and was until recently a coach at Kingstonian.
League Appearances: 14+12 (1986-89)

Roger Connell
Roger was a great amateur player with Walton & Hersham and scored a famous winning goal at Wembley when they won the Amateur Cup Final. He joined Wimbledon in 1974 with Allen Batsford and partnered Keiron Somers for three glorious years. Roger played one full season for the Dons in the Football League. He scored 57 times in the league for Wimbledon.
League Appearances: 144+3 (1974-79)

Ian Cooke
Ian is a legend in the history of Wimbledon. Topping the all-time Wimbledon appearance list, he was a loyal clubman whose playing career spanned the Isthmian and all of Wimbledon's Southern League tenure. A wily and prolific goalscorer who still found the net regularly from midfield in the twilight of his career, he went on to captain the club under Allen Batsford and is now a non-executive director of AFC Wimbledon. He played in the club's last two games as an amateur side, and when the decision was taken to turn semi-pro his employers, Westminster Bank, initially refused to let him sign. Ironically his playing career with the club finally came to an end when the Dons were promoted to the professional ranks of the Football League.
League Appearances: 419+8 (1963-77)

Kevin Cooper
“We’ve got Super Kevin Cooper on the wing” sang the Dons faithful about this hard-working and popular wide midfielder from Stockport, who became an instant crowd favourite during 2001/2 season. Coops deservedly won the WISA Player of the Year Award before being inexplicably sold to Wolves. A true ‘fans player’ at all his clubs, he now plies his trade at Cardiff City.
League Appearances: 39 (2001-2002)

Kevin Cooper
Coops' goalscoring ratio will surely never be beaten: in 86 league games for the Dons he scored 90 times. A firm crowd favourite, he played in AFC Wimbledon's first ever game – but for Sutton United. The experience had a lasting effect, and he joined the Dons soon after and played in AFCW's first ever league game.
League Appearances: 78+8 (2002-04)

Daniel Couch
Couchy played in AFC Wimbledon's first game, the friendly against Sutton United, having come through the Wimbledon Common trials. His only competitive appearance for the Dons was as a sub for the last 22 minutes of extra-time in the London Senior Cup spectacular against Brimsdown. He moved to the coast to further his education and signed up with Eastbourne Borough.
League Appearances: None

Terry Dobbs
League Appearances: 10 (1954-55)

Dave Donaldson
Elegant and pacy central defender who became the oldest Football League debutant at the age of 36, following Wimbledon’s election to Division Four in 1977 and capped a fine season by winning the Player of the Year award. One of the backbone of the triple Southern League championship side built by Allen Batsford, Dave was still turning out for Chobham in the CCL in his late forties !
League Appearances 181

Wally Downes
Wimbledon’s first Football League apprentice, who scored on his debut against Barnsley in 1979 aged 17. Hugely popular utility player who spent 12 years at Plough Lane before 4 broken legs curtailed his playing career. Went on to manage Brentford and coach at Millwall, Crystal Palace, Reading and Bury. His son Wally jr has appeared for AFCW reserves.
League Appearances 194 (1979-91)

Efan Ekoku
A Nigerian international, 'The Chief' joined the Dons from Norwich and was part of the team that went close on all three fronts in the 1996/97 season. He scored 37 times for the Dons. Efan has been down to Kingsmeadow many times.
League Appearances: 102+21 (1994-99)

John Fashanu
Fash's £125,000 transfer from Millwall signalled Wimbledon's serious intentions about promotion to the top division, and he became the archetypical SW19 target man. His powerful influence helped to push the club into the top flight, and he quickly become a Wimbledon icon. He was the first Wimbledon player to win a full England cap and he eventually became club captain. He left in 1994 to join Aston Villa.
League Appearances: 271+5 (1986-94)

Peter Fear
A fiery midfielder who came through the youth system in the early nineties with Chris Perry and Neal Ardley. He won England Under-21 honours, and the highlight of his career was scoring two stunning goals against Spurs in May 1998 – before promptly nutting David Ginola. The appointment of Egil Olsen in 1999 signalled the end of his time at the club.
League Appearances: 51+22 (1992-99)

Paul Fishenden
A promising centre-forward and prolific goalscorer in the reserves, Fish never quite realised his potential. His chances were limited by the partnership of Stewart Evans and Alan Cork that took the club from the Fourth Division to the First. The arrival of John Fashanu effectively ended any chance he had of securing a regular first-team place.
League Appearances: 45+7 (1981-86)

Scott Fitzgerald
An Ireland Under-21 international, Scott acted as cover behind John Scales in the centre of defence and never let the side down. He was originally a youth team player.
League Appearances: 95+11 (1991-96)

David Fry
A member of the original AFC Wimbledon side. A life-long Dons fan, turning out in the yellow and blue of Wimbledon was a dream come true for this midfielder.
League Appearances: 5+2 (2002)

Steve Galliers
The phrase 'midfield dynamo' was probably invented to describe Steve Galliers. At 5ft 4in, he made up in determination what he lacked in height. 'Midget', as he was known in the dressing room, played in all four Football League divisions for Wimbledon. Signed from Chorley after they knocked us out of the FA Trophy, Galliers was the epitome of the tough-tackling midfield general who allowed the flair players of the era to attack with impunity. His most memorable goal came in the League Cup win against Nottingham Forest. He moved to Crystal Palace for £70,000 and back for £15,000 soon after.
League Appearances: 293+8 (1977-88)

Kevin Gage                                            
The Dons youngest ever Football League debutant, ‘Gagey’ was an important squad member, able to play at both full back and midfield during Wimbledon’s meteoric rise into the top flight. Later moved to Aston Villa for £100,000 and then went on to rejoin Dave Bassett at Sheffield United.
League Appearances 172 (1980-87)

Marcus Gayle                                             
A £250,000 capture from Brentford, Marcus became a fixture in the Dons line up between 1994-2001, during which time he played in the 1998 World Cup with Jamaica and scored a memorable header in an FA Cup victory over Manchester United.Converted to a defender in the twilight of his career, which has taken him to Glasgow Rangers, Watford, Brentford again and then Aldershot. Marcus signed for AFC Wimbledon in May 2007.

League Appearances 448+104 (1994-01)

Ryan Gray                                            
Former Fulham junior, ‘Giggsy’ joined AFC Wimbledon from Whyteleafe and quickly gained a regular spot on the left wing, where he both created and scored numerous goals. Played as a wing back under Dave Anderson before work and travelling commitments took their toll and he moved onto to Merton rivals Tooting & Mitcham, where he is again amongst the goals.
League Appearances 65 (2003-05)

Dickie Guy
Dickie is third in the all-time Wimbledon league appearance list, behind Ian Cooke and Roy Law. He wore the green No 1 shirt for over a decade and will be for ever remembered for his penalty save against Peter Lorimer in the 1975 FA Cup tie at Elland Road. (He always says he played better in the Burnley tie in the previous round, though.) Dickie is a Don through and through and is now President of AFC Wimbledon.
League Appearances: 371 (1967-78)

Geoff Hamm
Geoff was vice-captain when the Dons won the FA Amateur Cup in 1963. He joined from Woking in 1958 and quickly cemented his place at inside-right in a side that dominated the Isthmian League for the next six years. He was capped by England at amateur level. He would have happily played out the rest of his career at Wimbledon, but when the club went semi-pro in 1964 he was deemed too old to be offered a contract.
League Appearances: 128 (1958-64)

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)

Glyn Hodges
One of the most talented players ever to wear the yellow and blue. A schoolboy apprentice, Glyn had a habit of getting firsts for the Dons. He was the first Wimbledon player to win an Under-21 cap (for Wales), the first to be capped at full international level, the first to score an international goal, and the first to score in all four divisions. He left the Dons in 1987 to follow Dave Bassett to Watford.
League Appearances: 200+32 (1980-87)

Dean Holdsworth
Famous for his slicked-back hairstyle, Deano was a key cog in Joe Kinnear's successful side of the 1990s and regularly topped the goalscoring charts for the Dons before moving to Bolton Wanderers in a £3.5million deal. Deano was appointed assistant manager of Derby County in August 2005.
League Appearances: 148+22 (1992-98)

Derek Holyoake
Derek went to school in Beckenham and joined his local club before moving to Wimbledon at 21. He played mostly in the 'A' and reserve teams as an inside-right or right-back until 1955, when he became a first-team regular at right-back. He was captain for a few games in 1957, but then slipped out of the first team as John Martin made the right-back berth his own.
League Appearances: 73 (1953-59)

Roger Joseph
To date Roger is the only Don to have played for both Wimbledon FC and AFC Wimbledon. He joined the Dons after the FA Cup Final success and soon became the regular right-back. Famed for his speed, he would frequently give opposing wingers ample room before arriving in the nick of time to avert the danger. His performances earned him England B international honours. He is now a regular at AFC Wimbledon games.
League Appearances: 155+7 (1988-95)

Roger Kew
Roger was born in Wimbledon and joined Wimbledon FC as a sixteen year old. He is one of the youngest ever to 'don' a Wimbledon FC shirt at senior level and he played in several first team games as well as being part of the successful reserve team of 1962-63. Roger left for 1st team football at Tooting & Mitcham, Carshalton and eventually ended his career at Chipstead playing into his forties.
League Appearances: TBC (TBC)

Alan Kimble
Nicknamed 'The Wand', Alan joined the Dons in 1993 from Cambridge United and slowly became a regular first-team player. A left-back by trade, he seemed to have a phobia of crossing the halfway line.
League Appearances: 196+19 (1993-02)

Julian King
Appeared in AFC Wimbledon’s inaugural friendly with Sutton United, Julian was a familiar face on the Kingsmeadow touchline and used primarily in a coaching role by Terry Eames during the early days of the CCL, but left in October 2002 to resurrect his playing career.
League Appearances: 0 (2002)

Roy Law
Roy was a strong-tackling centre-half who led by example. He joined the club after National Service in 1958, and was a fixture in the side for the next 14 seasons and central to the club's rise. He became a regular amateur international for England and in 1963 captained the Dons to FA Amateur Cup success. Only Ian Cooke has played more games for the Dons. Roy is now a regular visitor to AFC Wimbledon. The term 'club legend' is overused, but when describing Roy Law it is richly deserved.
League Appearances: 424 (1958-72)

Carl Leaburn
A surprise arrival from Charlton Athletic in 1997, where he had been the mainstay of the attack for over a decade. Carl endeared himself to the Dons faithful with a brace against Crystal Palace in a 3-0 win at Selhurst Park. His hero status was confirmed when he turned up uninvited to the launch of the Dons Trust. In his own words, 'I had been at Charlton for years, but in a few days I felt like Wimbledon was home.'
League Appearances: 36+23 (1997-01)

Phil Ledger
Talented and brave goalkeeper in the late fifties who gained an Isthmian League championship medal with Wimbledon in 1959. Moved on to enjoy a long association with Woking FC as both player and official with whom he is currently Kingfield’s Football Director.
League Appearances: 70 (1957-1962)

John Leslie
John broke through in 1976, becoming the perfect replacement for Ian Cooke. A versatile and popular striker, he became Wimbledon's longest survivor from their non-League days; he had once scored four goals away at Stourbridge only to be dropped the following week. He scored the goals that secured the club's third successive Southern League title and was a regular in the side that yo-yo'd between the Third and Fourth Divisions in the late seventies and early eighties, even outscoring his main strike partner, Alan Cork, during those years. He was eventually tempted by a bigger contract at Gillingham, despite the best efforts of Dave Bassett to keep him at Plough Lane.
League Appearances: 278+14 (1975-83)

Tom McCready
Tom was the first 'outside' player to sign professional terms for the Dons. Most of the team then were from the old amateur side. Capped by Scotland at schoolboy level, Tom had played for Hibernian and Watford before choosing to drop down to the Southern League. Tom, a level-headed centre half, was to be a mainstay of the Dons team for the next 10 years, and only Ian Cooke, Roy Law and Dickie Guy played more games for the Dons than he did. He was a member of the side that won the Southern League Cup in 1970. There were numerous offers from professional clubs, and Tom was eventually tempted away by a huge contract from Dulwich in 1974, shortly before the arrival of Allen Batsford – a move he regrets to this day.
League Appearances: 356 (1964-74)

John Martin
Capped 22 times for England at amateur level, John captained the Great Britain Olympic team in 1963. He joined Chelsea after National Service in 1958, and it was their manager Ted Drake who recommended him to Wimbledon. Chelsea retained his registration – and years later he discovered that Les Henley had refused numerous attempts by Chelsea to recall him. However, John was happy to stay with the Dons and was a key part of the side that won the FA Amateur Cup in 1963.
League Appearances: 197 (1958-71)

Mickey Moore
Mickey joined Wimbledon from Tooting & Mitcham for the 1961/62 campaign, although Les Henley had tried to sign him from Bromley during the previous season. Henley saw Mickey as a winger, while the player preferred inside-forward. After a few games on the right wing, Mickey seems to have won the argument and from then on played mostly at inside-left. The forgotten forward of that era, he missed out on an Amateur Cup Final appearance. Mickey stayed with the club through to 1965/66.
League Appearances: 96 (1961-66)

Mark Morris
One of Bassett's men. He was an integral part of the side that soared through thbe divisions in the early 80s. A solid centre back, he moved with Bassett to Watford in 1987.
League Appearances 167+1 (1980-87)

Glenn “Trigger” Mulcaire
The first AFC Wimbledon legend. Trigger played in the AFC Wimbledon’s first ever game against Sutton United. Two games later he secured his place in folklore by becoming the first goalscorer for AFC Wimbledon – and it was some goal too, a 30-yard volley that flew into
the top corner. Ironically the goalkeeper he beat that day, Glyn Shimmel, would go on to play for AFC Wimbledon. Trigger went onto become the club’s reserve team manager and now runs the AFC Wimbledon Masters side.
League Appearances: 1+6

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)

Gary Peters
Captain of the Dons side that won the Fourth Division championship in 1983, Gary was a solid defender and always dependable. He has dabbled with club management and is currently a scout with Everton.
League Appearances: 83 (1982-84)

Terry Phelan
Multi talented left back, signed by Wimbledon for £100,000 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 £2.5million for his signature in 1992. Capped 42 times for the Republic of Ireland. Returned to London in 1995, when Chelsea paid £900,000 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)

Paul Quinn
A former Chelsea defender who featured in the 2003/04 season. Plagued by injury, Paul's appearances were limited, but when available he put in competent displays at left-back and centre-back. He left the club in 2005.
League Appearances: 8+4 (2003-04)

Alan Reeves
Signed primarily for his uncanny resemblance to John Scales, Alan was a solid centre-back. He left the Dons in 1997 for Swindon, but still has a soft spot for the club and lives just a stone's throw away from Kingsmeadow. He was one of the first ex-Dons to offer their support for AFC Wimbledon.
League Appearances: 52+5 (1994-97)

Selwyn Rice
A combative midfielder with a cult following at Plough Lane, manager Mike Everitt beat off competition from Hereford to sign the Chumleigh-born “Devonshire Destroyer” who was at the heart of Wimbledon’s engine room during their latter Southern League years. Later went back to his roots to serve Cheltenham Town, Gloucester City and Barnstaple, Selwyn always watched the Dons whenever they played in the West Country.
League Appearances: 141 (1971-1977)

Danny Roberts
Dependable and popular left back who established himself as first choice in the early part of the Dons inaugural CCL season. Seemingly inseparable from Andy Sullivan, the pair lined up against each other when Andy moved to Hartley Wintney in 2003. Later played for Ash United and still an occasional visitor to Kingsmeadow.
League Appearances: 9 (2002-04)

Neil Robson
Full-back, midfielder or wherever he was needed, Neil 'got' AFC Wimbledon and always gave the club 100 per cent. He moved over to the coaching side at the end of the first season, and eventually left to spend more time watching his son play for Fulham's youth team.
League Appearances: 27+7 (2002-03)

Michael Rootes
Michael was an apprentice with Wimbledon back in 1990-92 and played alongside the like of Peter Fear, Chris Perry, Neil Ardley and Stewart Castledine in the successful team managed by Terry Burton that reached the semi finals of the FA Youth Cup and won the South East Counties League. Michael also made a solitary appearance for AFC Wimbledon in August 2003, coming on as a sub and scoring against Withdean, only to limp off at the end of the game. Michael eventually discovered that he had ruptured his cruciate ligament, an injury that subsequently ended his involvement in semi pro football.
League Appearance: +1 (2003)

Ally Russell                                            
Joined from Sussex County League Forest FC and was the first AFCW player to score a hat-trick (in a 4-0 victory over Cobham). Dubbed the ‘Tower of Power’ Russell found it difficult to secure a regular starting place and moved onto Carshalton Athletic – returning for a one-off appearance against Feltham in February 2004. Currently playing for Horsham YMCA.
League Appearances 14 (2002-04)

Andy Sayer
A centre-forward, Andy was inspirational in the Dons ascent through the divisions. He fell out of favour under Bobby Gould and left to join Fulham. He was voted the BBC's young player of the month in the Dons' first season in the top flight.
League Appearances: 46+12 (1983-88)

John Scales
Cultured defender who signed for a bargain £70,000 from Bristol Rovers in 1987 and sold to Liverpool for £3.2million seven years later. In between, Scalesy was a fixture in the Dons back four and appeared as a substitute in the FA Cup winning side. Won 3 England caps whilst at Anfield before moves to Tottenham and Ipswich where injury forced his retirement in 2001.
League Appearances: 235 (1987 - 1994)

Hans Segers
The diminutive Dutch goalkeeper was a mainstay of the Dons team in the early 1990s. He joined from Nottingham Forest in 1988 as a replacement for Dave Beasant, and quickly got the Plough Lane crowd onside on his home début against Everton with a huge punt upfield which John Fashanu crashed home. Unlucky not to make the 1990 Holland World Cup squad, he was superseded by Neil Sullivan in 1996. He now lives in Fleet and coaches Tottenham's goalkeepers.
League Appearances: 265+2 (1988-96)

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)

Lee Sidwell
Lee was AFC Wimbledon's first ever player of the year. His skilful wing play and hard work earned him the respect of the crowd. However, injury and a dip in form saw him slowly fall out of favour, and he left the club in the summer of 2004.
League Appearances: 69 +7 (2002-04)

Mick Smith
Mick was signed by Dario Gradi for £12,000 from Lincoln City in December 1979, but it was under Dave Bassett that the centre-back blossomed. He was an almost ever-present under Bassett as the club soared through the divisions. He played in six of the club's first seven games in the top flight, but injury struck and he never to appeared for Wimbledon again. He eventually left in January 1988.
League Appearances: 203+2 (1979-87)

Kieron Somers
Kieron was one of the clutch of Walton & Hersham players who joined the Dons when Allen Batsford took up the reins at Plough Lane. He played a key part in subduing a rampant Leeds side in the famous 1975 FA Cup tie.
League Appearances: 48+5 (1974-76)

Bob Stockley
A popular and tenacious right-back who gained a Southern League Championship medal under Allen Batsford, forming a solid Dons defence alongside Billy Edwards, Jeff Bryant and Dave Donaldson.

Andy Sullivan
Sully established himself as a true Dons legend in his two years spell at AFC Wimbledon.  A passionate right sided midfielder, Sully could split defences with ease with his right foot crosses.  An unfortunate injury in the pre season friendly against Dagenham prevented him from being in first team contention for the start of the 2004/5 season and he left the Club to join Carshalton before moving on to Whyteleafe.   Sully will be remembered as one of those players that always gave 100% on and off the field.  Sully always had time to stop and chat to Dons fans and now regularly watches AFC Wimbledon, when other commitments allow.
