About me…

For those that don’t know me, I have been a Wimbledon fan since my school days and was a regular at Plough Lane from the mid 1980’s.

Wimbledon Football Club and AFC Wimbledon has always been close to me and my family. I was born in the area, but as our family moved to Hampshire when I was very young  I didn’t have the opportunity to attend games regularly until I was older, but when I started the feeling I got watching our team play was magnificent and I still get that feeling today. 

My Uncle John was a founding member of the Dons..

I know that I am an unlikely candidate for The Dons Trust: I’m an American. I live in California. I haven’t been to Plough Lane.  I haven’t met many of you, for whom I know the club is deeply important and personal.

But through a winding, haphazard journey, I’ve become a supporter of the club – and what is clear is that the story of AFC Wimbledon transcends the thousands of..

My vision for the Dons Trust

I want the club we all love to be the best.

But who am I?

I am a founder member of the Dons Trust and served on the Board in 2004.

I first started going to Plough Lane in 1982 and was a mascot with my brother against Hull City in January 1983. That was the last game we lost in our charge for the..
