[@100percentSNAFU]

I'm a Liverpool supporter through and through, but always had a soft spot in my heart for the Dons of yore and the Crazy Gang. In fact the team I played with in '92 we actually dubbed ourselves the Crazy Gang and played a similar rough and tumble style, and ironically won our league cup 1-0 against heavy favourites in a very gritty match where we were mostly playing reserve players because of all of our injuries and suspensions, and our 3rd choice goalkeeper had probably one of the greatest amateur performances I have ever witnessed. This and we played most of the match with 10 men when our version of Vinnie Jones decided to punch one of their players in the face and got sent off. Ah great memories.

[@singdons]

Ahhhhh.... brilliant to watch! I was there as a 13 year old. Magical day, and the Liverpool fans were great to us - beers on the train on the way up, and they didn't kick out heads in on the way back. Amazing scenes in Wimbledon on the saturday, and i got my mum to let us watch the Town Hall parade on the sunday from the second floor of the Woolwich which was bang across the street. Fooking magic!

[@Ze_Moose]

So I'm wondering, since the team no longer exists who does the fans Wimbledon support today? Did they start supporting other teams in London? I'm from America.

[@davegibbons5590]

@@Ze_Moose Hi Muse. The team that won in 1989 still very much exists. We had to reform (as AFC Wimbledon) and playing back at our former home. Author John Green is a sponsor. I met him last week at our stadium.

[@athlone1975]

As a Liverpool fan I tip my hat to Wimbledon. Definitely not a penalty. Cracking save by Beasant. Liverpool were weak in the air and shrewdly Wimbledon capitalised. That Wimbledon team was put together for pittance. Gibson at 175k was their most expensive player. Bear in mind Wimbledon's victory in 1988 was at a time, where unlike now, the FA Cup was taken seriously.

[@sniperheroes3082]

True. Very true...

[@shanet5604]

And they couldn’t play in Europe because Liverpool got them banned !

Easily the biggest upset in an FA Cup final, at least in my lifetime. Wigan over Manchester City ranks 2nd to this.

I grew up watching all the cup finals before moving to the US in 1983. I hadn’t realized that John Motson had passed.

Something has been lost in the game since all the money started pouring in.

Only criticism I had on Liverpool that day was i felt Barnes didn't take on the game .He had Al the skills in the world but I remember watching this game live from Australia me and many others were screaming Out to Barnes to take on players a little mate break that line .Wimbledon played smart defending really deep waiting for Any sort of fouls as Wise was brilliant in taking Free kicks .I think if Barnes played to his full potential Wimbledon would not have a chance.

Absolute fucking WONDERS by the Wimbledon keeper, what a cracking save towards the start! As a Wolves fan, we’re dirtier on the pitch than off it, and I’d be very scared if our players ever had to lay eyes on the likes of Vinnie Jones again.

What happened to Wimbledon was a complete disgrace. I know they were struggling financially but they should have been relegated to the lower leagues, just like Rangers were so they can reorganise and get themselves back together. Instead, MK were created and what have MK achieved? Fuck all!!

[@kennethdrewary1094]

From non league to cup winners in 10 years is a great achievement, just a pity the beat my team, lol. What's worse is I was at the final, a long journey home I can tell you, lol.

[@abbaszaidi8371]

Didn’t Beardsley dribble the ball into the net after being fouled? The ref blew, no advantage was played and he just carried on to “score” . Just before Sanchez did?

[@thevillaaston7811]

And later, John Aldridgepenaltycheat had his spot kick saved.

[@danieljohnson2139]

Notice how the referee is running away from the wimbledon players when he gives a penalty because he knows vinnie jones will come and batter the shit out of him

[@noobsaibot2856]

At least Vinnie played like a man, not like today games its like watching basketball

[@chinmaypednekar501]

@Puppy 1975 ifkr, i dont understand this obsession of calling players like vinnie jones manly or calling any other player who wouldn't bat a second eye giving a player a career ending injury just to get any kind of advantage over a player or a team for a game. Yeah, today's brand of football is cheap and terrible in its own ways, but so is this thuggery so many toxic cunts label as "manly"

[@youscousebastard424]

Worst cup final penalty decision ever

[@100percentSNAFU]

@Puppy 1975 Oh please, that was part of the game and a big part of what made it great. When rivals played you knew there would be some rough play, and players knew damn well if they went out for blood, they best have their head on a swivel after as their opponents would be coming for their scalp next. I played in the 1990s, high school and later amateur leagues in the U.S., where this kind of football is a far second to American football, but we played just as hard. Remember several matches against rival clubs where fists flew and things got nasty. I personally took part in one "contract killing" when the other teams "hard man" kept picking on our smallest man in the pitch, so I took him out with a two-footer from behind and sprained his ankle. Best red I ever earned as a defender, and a prouder moment than my one and only career goal that was a game winner from a corner in extra time.

[@royalstarfish17]

Don't be an arse. The media HATED Wimbledon, so hard to see how they 'colluded' in anything. Wimbledon's football was basic but Liverpool (self-dubbed the 'Best Team in Europe') couldn't work out how to beat them. Says more about Liverpool's limitations that Wimbledon. As for Wimbledon being responsible for Abramovich, you are just utterly clueless

[@RundUmDenSVNiederwerth]

0-1 Lawrie Sanchez (37 min)

[@jababorg4484]

I watched this game. The violence of some Wimbledon players was frightening. The Vinnie Jones hit the Liverpool player was criminal. Nowadays he would be excluded in any league in the world.

[@100percentSNAFU]

That's the kind of stuff I miss. My local club I played for had a player like that. He spent half the season suspended, but the other half in game injuring opponents and a few times actually punching other players in the face. But he was also one of our best goal scorers so coach kept him on the team. Back then it was nothing more than a one game suspension. Today he would face criminal charges. I liked it better the old way. What happened on the pitch stayed on the pitch, and if you were too weak to take it, then you best not participate. Guys today are a bunch of pansies. There were some like that back then too, floppers and drama queens, but they usually ended up getting permanently flopped 🤣. Shit was rough. Had several teeth knocked out playing GK from boots to the grill, because I liked to come off my line back in the days when we had an actual sweeper and being a sweeper keeper was unnecessary, and dove head first at attackers like an idiot. Then I decided it was (slightly) better for my health to play an outfield position.
