Players scoring ridiculous goals against Wimbledon: a thread https://twitter.com/90sfootball/status/968041493033349120
Beckham from the halfway line on the opening day of the 96/97 season, obviously.
Dalian Atkinson (RIP) rides a couple of typically Wimbledon challenges before mugging off Hans Segers with a lovely chip, causing a man with an umbrella to invade the pitch in celebration. YEAH, NINETIES FOOTBALL.
Paolo Di fucking Canio. Christ.
Tony Yeboah makes Martin Tyler all weak at the knees with this effort.
Being a Dons fan at 'home' games in the 90s consisted of sitting in another team's ground watching other teams score worldies against you.
Highbury. 1997 FA Cup semi-final. Both teams wearing away kits for some reason. Zola sends Dean Blackwell for an espresso and breaks Wimbledon hearts, the magnificent bastard.
If you can work out which pixel is Eidur Gudjohnsen, you might just be able to spot him going full Maradona against us in the prestigious Worthington Cup in 1999.

Generic Yeovil Footballer scores a really stupid free-kick, proving that whatever happens, Wimbledon keepers will ALWAYS be susceptible to being inexplicably lobbed from distance.
Tiny man Piero Mingoia in the 2015/16 L2 play-offs for Accrington. A goal that would've taken Stanley to Wembley were it not for the human fridge Akinfenwa rumbling off the bench to save us.
