Wombles v Arsenal, Nov 2 1996

Wimbledon take on Arsenal at Selhurst Park, 1996

[@seltaeb3302]

The entire team cost less than Dennis Bergkamp. Love them & not many did or hate 'em many did you have to respect what this little club achieved when they got elected to Div 4 in 1977. Respect, the greatest little club of the 20th century.

I was at this game with my best mate, mum and late dad. We are all gooners and were sat in the Arthur waite stand. Last live game I saw with my dad

[@MILOPREMIER]

This was the last game I went with my dad. I went with my parents and a mate. Gooners for life. Dad passed away in 1997, so this game means a lot to me. We sat in the Arthur waite stand and when merson scored he celebrated right in front of us. I remember Winterburn celebrating and he was like a man possed. Great day and memories. Also my mum took a blanket to keep warm. Lol

R.I.P. Hope you cherish the good memories mate :) have a good one 👍

[@drushe1983]

the way vieira just glides along the pitch for wright’s opener is simply sublime. great finish from wright too.

[@navykeef]

How I miss him! He was magnificent.

[@noradosmith]

I attended this game supporting wimbledon and still remember that pass. Best through ball I've ever seen

[@user-nb9sm8kh8t]

I had watched this game at the Selhurst Park Stadium when I was studying abroad in London. I lived in Wimbledon at the time so I was a big fan of Crazy Gang! Especially Jamaican players were very impressive for me. I was crazy at the time!

[@leeakers1370]

I remember my father watching match of the day and this particular game was on, at the time I liked football but didn’t support a team but for some reason while watching this I knew Arsenal was the team I liked, the next ten years that followed were magnificent, now Arsenal are just a great source of depression to me but I’ll always love them.

[@cashmandillian4600]

You my friend are a proper Arsenal fan ...I feel your pain but I feel your love for them as well

[@RuddsReels]

That's when Arsenal was Arsenal! When Football was Football! Now we have millionaires playing it with no loyalty to the clubs they play for, funded by "customers" and foreign business men! RIP Football!

[@forgive7449]

surely you mean it was when wimbledon was wimbledon.

[@RuddsReels]

BTW Thanks for sharing!

Paul Brett - win the tackle on the edge of your own box, travel 35 meters and lay on a perfect pass.

what a prediction

[@TheDvdral]

1:38 How is that not a penalty?!

[@forgive7449]

less than 10 seconds into the game. just saying.

[@user-gf7wl2jq3m]

This ref loved Arsenal very much, never forgive him Dicanio sending off after Keown provocation.

[@cpndSimyule]

Jones ya mad yoke!

[@davegibbons5590]

Love it. Up the Dons!

[@cringycook9597]

Vinnie Jones has had some career when look back at it now.

[@mrflynn1205]

Patrick Viera. The Senegalese Carlton Palmer.

[@jeannotschumacher1024]

World cup winner. European champion....but yes for the rest you are right

[@1ironmikeoc]

some of the penalties that weren't given in the 90's, I mean honestly.

[@intunewithcars9484]

seriously how on gods green earth was that not a penalty???? wimbledon totally robbed , should of had a blatant penalty and ian wright raised foot for merson to score was a blatant freekick....dreadful ref

[@wimbledan]

Arsenal fans moaning about second wimbledon goal when they should've been down to 10 men after a minute and their second shouldn't of stood as Wrights foot was raised.

[@Qwertyrfvgy]

Down to 10 and a Pen for Wimbledon

[@wimbledan]

@@Qwertyrfvgy never happened for wimbledon. Went a whole season without getting a penalty. None of players dived. Just injured the opposition
