AFC Wimbledon - It's a funny old game.

Article on AFC in today's Observer. Including the amazing fact that their first ever goal was scored by none other than Glenn Mulcaire! The private investigator employed by the News of the World at the heart of the hacking scandal.

His nickname at the time was Trigger and his goal prompted this fabulous quote from the Wimbledon manager; "Talk about five minutes of fame! Trigger's had his five minutes - and he loved it."

I bet he wishes!
 




If that was the game at Sutton United, I was there.

At one point, he committed a horrendous foul and, as the ref reached into his pocket, someone in the crowd shouted "Don't tell him your name, Trigger!"

Marvellous scenes.

Just had a bit of a search, I too was at the Sutton game - but I think the goal in question was against Bromley in a "proper" match.
