Striker Geena Gordon spent the 2003/04 season with AFC Wimbledon Women playing in both the reserves and first team. Clearly she’s passed on some football genes as her son Zhaviah Campbell has recently been called up to the Jamaica U20 squad! Welcome to WOPA Geena 🔵🟡🤝 #602

👀 We’ve benefitted greatly from this over the past couple of seasons (Romaine Sawyers, Marcus Browne, Patrick Bauer) and a great initiative for players released too. #AFCW ✍🏼

Sad to hear that Richard Teale has passed away aged 74. A former Walton & Hersham and QPR goalkeeper who briefly displaced Dickie Guy at Wimbledon in 1977, making 15 Dons appearances before going on to play 120 games for Slough Town. Condolences to his family and friends. 🔵🟡🙏

One of the most skilful ever players to pull on a Wimbledon shirt, Northern Ireland international winger Michael Hughes lit up many an afternoon at Selhurst Park during his 115 Dons appearances between 1997-2002 and we are delighted ‘Hughesy’ has become our 600th WOPA member 🔵🟡

Defender Sam Hutchinson made 23 appearances, scoring once (a vital playoff semi final strike where his evening ended in hospital after a suffering a heart attack). Happily fit enough to play on, the former Chelsea and Sheffield Wednesday man, becomes WOPA member #599. Welcome Sam
