The F*cking Sweetest Revenge Story in Sports

What an excellent Crash Course in Wimbledon history. Love to see it. -John

Mk dons are still the most widely disliked club in England 20+ years after the event. English fans are not to be messed with

“The Lakers moved to LA where there are no lakes. The oilers moved to Tennessee where there is no oil. And the Jazz moved to Salt Lake City where they don’t allow music.”

Best bit of the anonymous player is that we paid his fine

If a football fan doesn't get a little misty eyed over that goal to beat MK Dons in stoppage time, I don't know what they have for a heart

meanwhile in Brazil, a coach who had been said to be a wash for the past 10 years, makes a come back to win both the Copa do Brasil (FA Cup equivalent) and Libertadores (Champions League equivalent) in 2022, only to be sacked and replaced by the coach who he beaten in the Copa do Brasil final, and 4 months later get signed with another club, and have that club not only win the Copa do Brasil, but eliminating both of the teams bittest rivals in the quarter and semifinals and beating the club that sacked him the year before in the final, and this year be called to coach the Brazilian National team

RIP John Motson. "The crazy gang have beaten the culture club" what a line.

Honestly, the FA should've completely disowned this sham of a club. Franchising should be banned in the beautiful game.

"Mama didn't raise no snitch"😂

I truly have never seen a story like this. To have your club ripped away from you, instead of drinking it away, the fans decided to rebirth the club from the ashes, climb the pyramid, and face-off against the team that was once them and originally stole and erased their history from them...all in all to beat MK Dons. Im a Man United fan at heart, but these underdog stories are really where I just stand in awe of. Well done, AFC Wimbledon. I support you know. Also, Im glad John Green is a part of Wimbledon, as I knew him from Crash Course. He and his brother Hank were life-savers when it came to my high school education, so I will always hold the 'Vlogbrothers' in high regard.

Holy shit, is that kid he grabbed still alive?

This story is the true power of what sports can be: To drive people together and not tear them apart.

was at the next wimbledon game after this one and the fans were chanting "1 ball kicked at the franchise scum, 2 balls kicked at the franchise scum..." etc lmao

Describing Milton Keynes as being in 'Northern Greater London' is one of the funniest things I've heard today.

And MK Dons fans having the "We're keeping the Dons.....Get over it!" is Grade A generational hatred....

I went to AFC Wimbledon vs MK Dons the other weeks and when that Ronan Curtis goal went is it was magical, the goal was worth more than football, the goal was for the original club and for the fans

The whole of English football cheered, everyone hates MK Don's.

4:20 Milton Keynes isn’t in Northern Greater London, it’s in Buckinghamshire. Which is 50 miles away from Wimbledon.

For reference, Minnesota is nicknamed Land of 10,000 Lakes. Not 1000 lakes. But overall, top tier content as always!

You must be joking - I think I was playing Football Manager 2010 (coincidence??) when I heard this story for the first time (I'm a fan outside of England). I could not resist starting a new game playing AFC Wimbledon and taking them from semi-pro, back to the Prem and European competitions over a span of a dozen seasons. It is still one of my favorite saves I ever did in the game. I may revisit that challenge again in the future.
