Good find, haven't seen this in years. Belting first goal from Deano.

I remember this game well, not for the goals, or the Wimbledon fans doing the conga when 7 goals down but one of those 'I don't know what I'm talking about days', as the guy I was sat next to asked me what I made of Tommy Johnson just prior to kick off, I wasn't complementary shall we say, by half time I was eating humble pie.
I seem to recall that Johnson throw up before the start of one game or am I imagining that...?
-
yeah dont think that was this one though, maybe Derby possibly? anyway, great game, remember it well. although i had forgotton about the dons fans doing the conga!
-
I seem to recall Johnson was sick before the Spurs home match a week or two earlier.

I remember this most one not for the goals or the conga but the free chewing gum that some very tasty young ladies were dishing out by the club shop before the game. My mates and I took an absurd amount and one of us bet that he could easily get 5 packets worth of chuddy in his mouth at one time. In fairness, he managed it but the revolting pile was forced so far into this throat that he puked. Alas, with that much of a blockade in his mouth, the spew couldn't come out normally. It ended up covering four of us in a fine spray. I don't think there was a winner in that bet.

I was there and loved this game especially as it was great to finally wallop that lot!
-
Only home game I missed that year due to proper flu. Woke up to the Mrs telling me we won 7-1 and thought I was hallucinating
-
I broke a golden rule and took a girl, I'd been hanging my hat up for her for some time.
It didn't work out but I cherish the seven hugs and kisses I recieved. Thanks Villa.

My main memory of Wimbledon is one misty night at Selhurst Park when we used to put behind the goal rather than along the side, penalties, Kevin Richardson and getting home to Chichester about 1am in the morning, having lost to them away yet again...
-
I was at that game I remember thinking when they took the lead, "here we go again". It was nice to finally give them a proper hammering. We put five past them a year later near Christmas time as well.

''Hanging my hat up her''... a phrase I'll have to remember.

I remember Warren Barton giving it loads after he scored the opener and then we equelised within a minute i think. The next home game after was Leicester, we went 4-1 up and drew 4-4.
I also remember beating Wimbledon 5-0 at home and ending there unbeaten streak of about 15+ games.
