On This Day in 1961
Goalkeeper Wally Pearson foils the onrushing Eddie Reynolds this time, but the Dons went on to beat Tooting 5-0 in a Surrey Senior Cup tie at Plough Lane. Having not beaten their fierce local rivals once in seven attempts in the 1959-60 season, Wimbledon now had two victories in succession over the Terrors. One man who was not happy was Jim Wright. After playing in blue in all seven games the previous year, the midfielder must have wondered whether he had done the right thing in switching to Sandy Lane. By contrast, the man who went the other way, Ted Murphy, had yet to appear on a losing side.

Can it really be a decade since that play-off final victory over Plymouth at Wembley? In December 2015, while the club was celebrating Merton Council giving permission for a new stadium to be built on Plough Lane, there was little to smile about on the field. A long run without a win culminated in a home defeat against Stevenage after which the players snubbed fans by missing the post-match presentations to head off for their Christmas party and goalkeeper Ben Wilson went online to mock supporters. After a tough talking team meeting, an underperforming squad emerged into the New Year with a new attitude and started a run that carried them to the play offs where they beat Accrington over two legs before facing the Pilgrims in the final. The latest edition of the Historical Don has the details from every game as well as the battle to return to Plough Lane and the memories of Paul Robinson, Andy Barcham and others.

We cool.
For the record, I was only pulling Trigger's leg earlier. I've only met him once, many years ago at KM, and i feel that I get on well with him on Wup and he has never given me any reason to dislike him.

Love you Triggs. ❤️ :-)
RIP Martin Chivers and best of luck to Kevin Keegan as he battles cancer

Any lower division club could point out they are hard up compared to City. Exeter are facing the same reality as us, good for them to try anything but I can't see why City should be more generous to them than they would be, for example, to Burton

Bert - true, but I still prefer the original ones… However, the AI versions do give us a laugh… 🤭

a4e - There are few original photos prior to 1967. Most of these were scanned from old newspapers and pretty poor to start with.

Trigger - I use a combination of the free versions of Manus, Gemini and ChatGPT and results vary wildly. Increasing the resolution does risk potentially changing the facial features and all three seem to think we played in red, but with some judicial instruction I've found some of the results can look quite spectacular.

Best just to use the original photo where possible, or to at least flag that the one being used is AI generated (or show both so that we can decide for ourselves which one we prefer…).

Whomsoever from the ticket team does read on here could we get an update on the Port Vale tickets please? Unless I’m doing something wrong it seems impossible to buy them yet.

I’ve never told anyone I’m not a robot as much as I have done to Port Vale.
