On This Day in 1952
Jack Wallis (number 6) heads clear as the Dons and Walthamstow Avenue fight out a goalless draw in an Amateur Cup third round game. Over 14,000 fans, paying a shilling (5p) each to stand, jammed into Plough Lane to see Wimbledon dominate at first before the As came into the game after half time. With huge interest in the latter rounds of the competition, BBC outside broadcast cameras were on hand to record the tie and see if Harry Stannard could score on his 400th appearance for the club.

Sticky
Humbled by Hampton, frustrated at Folkestone, beaten by Billericay and chastened at Chelmsford, the Dons' first Ryman Premier League campaign was no cakewalk. A late run saw Dave Anderson's side sneak into the play-offs where the expensively assembled Fisher side proved too strong and, a few days later, Kingstonian rubbed salt into the wound by winning the Surrey Senior Cup final. Relive every kick with the memories of men like Wayne Finnie and Antony Howard in the latest edition of the Historical Don.

Boring fact…. I played against paul Fishenden when I was about 14. He played for Hillingdon district, I played for wandsworth district. He scored past me although we won 2 1 (I think!)

Everton deliberately watered their pitch for a game against us in 1988 as they had a big cup game 2 days later and wanted to protect pitch and players

Fish was often injured, Bassett probably lost patience with him and brought in Colin Gordon. Pretty sure he was on the pre season tour of Finland and Sweden as I have a couple of grainy photos which look li him

6M$ - Fishenden left the Dons on 1/7/87. He had a couple of loan spells in 86/7 season, but cannot find evidence either way as to whether he played in any of our Div One matches.

That photo of AMW was on the front page of everyUK paper plus many overseas. Great shot and a good story about the guy who took, having to drive 200 miles in the middle of the night. Most paparazzwere at another gate but he got a tip from a colleague at Reuters to go elsewhere. There were two police cars and he just took four blind shots at the second car. Three got the rollers but he got AMW with the last
