The story of AFC Wimbledon is far more than a simple football tale. It is a story of romance and hard work, mostly by those forgotten heroes of modern football the fans, who, when the club they loved was torn away from them, rolled up their sleeves and refused to lie down. After the sale of Wimbledon FC to Milton Keynes, an unprecedented scenario in English football, the club reformed under a new name and entered the lower leagues. With no stadium, no players, no money, no manager, no staff and no kit, the fans were all that remained, and the club became a supporter run business. This Is Our Time is the story of the nine year journey which took AFC Wimbledon from the depths of non league football back to the professional Football League, demonstrating in the process that football is, at it s heart, about much more than television money and overpaid superstars. This Is Our Timecollects over 100 stories from the key figures involved in the club, including the players, the fans and fundraisers, coaches and staff and Dons Trust Board members, and covers the ups and downs, the controversies and the final redemption as the Dons reclaimed their place in the Football League. The author s previous book on the club, Spirit Of Wimbledon has become a classic of the genre, and this follow up promises to do just the same. A must read for anybody with an interest in the beating heart of the beautiful game.
