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

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

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

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"😂

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

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.

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

Holy shit, is that kid he grabbed still alive?

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

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

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

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

There is a similar story about to get written in Salzburg. Reb Bull stole Austria Salzburg so the fans founded their club new and started in the lowest division. This season they faced of for the first time ever in the national cup. Austria Salzburg is in the third division right now and I look forward to the clubs future.

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.

The fact that people in the US seem to think franchising a sports team is all fine and dandy is beyond insane. What even ties you to your team at that point? Money plays a huge role in european soccer too, especially in english football, but jeez at least Chelsea still plays in Chelsea, Liverpool still plays in Liverpool and ManU and ManCity still play in Manchester

i was born and raised in milton keynes and ive always been annoyed that the massive stadium in the middle of our city wasnt home to a team of our own :(

Hi Fatty, this is the best coverage I have seen in those 20 years. Congrats for a good job. I went to the old Plough Lane many a time.

They were my local club growing up - the first football match I saw was Wimbledon vs Blackburn at Selhurst Park & my school sports day was at Kingsmeadow Stadium (before AFC Wimbledon moved in) so I have a soft spot for them. It was such BS when Franchise FC were allowed to buy the club, but I’m happy to see them back home. Quite funny for me recognising pretty much all the places shown in the video 😂

Absolutely brilliant video. The old site actually has flats on it as the sanction for a supermarket never went through. But thanks for the video top class. That curtis goal still makes me go cold everytime I watch it.

A lot of people forget Charles Koppel in all of this Chairman from 2000-2002 who was the one who sold the club to Winkleman and helped the deal get done. He pulled a John Fisher and did 2 consecutive fire sales of the team’s stars in the Winter window, selling them to promotion rivals, fired Stuart Murdoch for saying that he was in favor of a new stadium in Merton, and basically sandbagged the team to keep them in the 2nd tier while he was there.

You can ask any English fan which club they hate out the two, regardless of which team they support, and they will say Mk. The city is dead and empty anyway

As a afc Wimbledon fan this is an amazing video

Great video, introducing the history and the controversy! Well done! Just one thing, on 17:25, you introduce the next clip to be from 2022, when it actually happened in 2024. Other than that, perfect stuff from you. Thanks for telling the story

so happy to see you post! Since the luton town career mode I have grown up and learned more about soccer through your videos/others. Thank you BMINUS :)

First video of yours I’ve seen. I can’t express enough how phenomenal this was. Great story telling, jokes and graphics

This is an amazing watch. Keep up the good work 👏🏽

Love the video, Just what I needed to start the day, Please keep going

I almost cried watching this... Amazing writing dude

As a Wimbledon fan this gave me goosebumps!

This is why football is much more than just a game

Nice. A few inaccuracies and mistakes but hey ... you certainly captured the flavour of the circumstance. Thank you. It is I think still the greatest story in football - both as AFCW and also the old WFC story too. Those cannot be stolen. Nor can they be bought. Winkleman will get his cumuppence some day ... I just hope I am alive to see it.

I remember the talk of them moving to Dublin a good while ago, excellent video and im delighted like most to see them back.

Great video dude, liked and subbed. You clearly have immense passion for the sport. This was all the more enjoyable for being an outside perspective, i remember the outrage and shared it, even though it had nothing to do with me.

Thankgod this was recommended to me in my feed. Legendary video my friend 👏

Brilliantly done mate.

Seriously one of the best football essay videos ever made! 5 stars!

I am an Arsenal fan and I hate MK Dons.

I know many RU-vidrs have already done videos about Anthony Precourt attempting to move the Columbus Crew but I think it would be an interesting video done in this style. It's a great story overall. Love the video.

Excellent. Well done! Great video. I have big soft spot for Wimbledon. Used to enjoy going to the old Plough Lane with my club - Portsmouth.

Great recap of the famously appaulling story, with a happy ending, of course. I'm not a Wimbledon fan and have no justification to be one, but damn near every FOOTBALL fan should hold them in high esteem. I know this is almost unhelpfully off-topic but I also love their ground banners: "The club that came from nowhere", "We are the resurrection, we are the light", "Not in the wider interests of football"... Just a magical comeback, Winkleman doesn't deserve any sympathy even after becomming more genuinely interested in football and appearing to genuinely wanting MK to succeed.

Great video but that ending with them finally beating MK Dons again, playing the music from haikyu was just, chef's kiss.

God, why am I about to cry watching this especially when the goal happens. Lord, the beauty of sport.

Dude this was bloody fantastic. What a video. Makes me want to pick up FM and lead AFC Wimbledon to the top as well!

Not gonna lie, hearing the call after that game winner and the celebration got me choked up

I’m a Pompey fan. My missus and her family are lifelong Wimbledon fans. We were there and it was the most craziest I’ve ever seen a football ground. incredible moment

I've recently started watching league games even though I've played football my whole life(22yrs) and Today I've learnt the meaning of FOOTBALL HERITAGE Thank you for the video I'll support AFC DON even against Real Madrid

My first ever game that I went to was Wimbledon F.C. vs. Tottenham. My dad and his family all support Spurs and so I was taken to this game as a 6 year-old because we had a great uncle (married into the Spurs supporting side of the family) who lived near, and supported, Wimbledon. That great uncle was Wimbledon through and through. Not long after that game, the whole MK DONS thing happened and so my great uncle is one of the people who helped found the modern Wimbledon AFC. He still attends matches, despite being in his late 70s.

I grew up as a Don’s fan as they were my local team as a kid, greatest memory winning the 1988 FA Cup against Liverpool, worse memory Wimbledon leaving to become MK Dons in 2003. I’m now a Chelsea fan 💙

Getting teary eyed watching this a few hundred meters away from plough lane

First time coming across the name of the team itself, but this story made me, a grown man who’s very rarely emotive to burst out in tears 😭 Love happy endings like this

Haikyuu theme playing in the background, You are a beautiful story teller

The channel name is the biggest factor holding ya back: it doesn't roll off the tongue and honestly seems a weird focal point for a unique channel

17:50 football heritage commentator couldn’t have done that goal anymore justice

When the Rams moved to LA I was devestated, yes we where bad but the fact I was able to go to NFL games 3 hours away from my town, I loved it

Fat Asian you bastard. You made me laugh, cry and proud all in one video. That is one of the most poetic stories of our club i've ever seen. And with the passion of an AFC Wimbledon fan. That was beautiful. Thank you 💙💛

This is some of the funniest shit I've seen in a while. Brilliant, my friend

That end made me belly laugh, momma sure ain't raised no snitch with you. Great video to a grand story of football. When I was introduced to the reborn Wimbledon FC, a few other cities in Europe already went for the same after the Don's example. Chemie Leipzig was founded fresh by students and maybe more importantly for the mainland: so was Austria Salzburg after the club had been bought by the energy drink brand that should have stayed in fringe sports and never ever come into football. But (gods be thanked!) no club that I have in mind was ever moved to another town or city, like Wimbledon was. Maybe 2nd Bundesliga's Wehen-Wiesbaden counts as such but it was two clubs merging into one bigger club, which has happened quite a few times in football history. It's sad that they lost their traditional home and club history of the SV Wehen though.

Great video, you missed out the part where the club were trying to move to Dublin though.

I have been anticipating your latest video 🤓

Beautiful video. Well done

MK Dons were not the first franchise in English football. It was Arsenal, who were previously called Woolwich Arsenal based in Woolwich in SE London and were moved to North London by a wealthy businessman in 1913.

I NEVER HEARD IT! Thats fecking amazing!

I once saw Verdes draw 0-0 with Queretaro in Belize, it was a great national achievement. I would have never expected to hear from them here.

what an absolute memory for the kid at 18:02

Love the sneaky gundam theme

Haikyuu music! So so good lol, also great video!

The "Bruh you know this team was ass" had me dying 😂😂😂

Bro I already knew it was MK Dons from the description at the start of the video.

Great watch. Thank you for producing it. If you ever need information on WISA and The Dons Trust, and their respective roles? Please shout?

Omg that poor ball boy. Never stood a chance.

Dude.... thanks for sharing!

As a Portsmouth fan I couldnt figure out why Mr Asian has a thumbnail of Ronan Curtis. Turns out hes covering an awesome story about Wimbeldon lol

This was an awesome watch lol, thanks.

Beautiful story ❤❤

The background music is fire 🔥 🔥🔥

Harry Pell and Ronan Curtis, forever legends of AFC Wimbledon after that game against MK!

This is superb.

I was at the game where Curtis scored the winner. It was amazing

"I don't know if you know football manager" Glancing over on my second screen playing it :P

Great video 👏🏼

The typical “rich person” mindset: why work hard to build something from scratch when you can just buy something that someone else has already put the work into?

brought a tear to my eyes

`Because Mama didn`t raise no snitch`🤣🤣

This would make a great movie

the intro made me think of my Browns. Screw you Art Modell.

listening to the background music has me thinking about in the mood for love the whole video such a good movie bruh

14:23 I can’t explain it but when I saw this clip of the three players, It looked like a cutscene to a MyPlayer game mode😂

8:07 A music promoter, a weasel? No waaaay!

78 games unbeaten?! Holy shit! Thanks for this video! I was always interested in the AFC Wimbledon/ MK Dons story but never heard the full story till now. Very interesting. As an American I admire and envy British football and its fans. Ive read about and seen so many stories about how British fans stepped up to save their club and the unmatched dedication they have for their club.

Brought a tear to my eye.

Reminds on how a friend picked Leicester for no particular reason and got em promoted to the premier and the won it... "Dude this morgan guy is amazing" I laughed hard at him ... Little I knew ... As you all know Leicester went on to become champions on a crazy year 😂

16:11 I'd like to think No. 18 knew they would score and was just celebrating really early.

What a great story. Well done
