On This Day in 1955
Given total control of first team affairs, Les Henley's first game as manager ended in a 2-1 win over Ilford at Plough Lane. His appointment in the summer of 1955 ended decades when the club's teams were picked by a committee meeting every Monday night during the season. The former Arsenal and Reading man remained in charge until 1971 making him easily Wimbledon's longest serving manager.

50 years ago, a hat trick of Southern League titles and two high profile FA Cup runs were not enough. In the days prior to automatic promotion, club chairman Ron Noades had to travel the country canvassing votes from his Football League counterparts as part of a high profile ‘Dons 4 Div 4’ campaign before the Dons were finally accepted. Relive every kick of Wimbledon’s final non-league year through the pages of the latest edition of The Historical Don with match reports and pictures as well as the memories of Noades, manager Allen Batsford and several members of his all-conquering team. On sale at the home games in August and priced at £3, it is hoped that payments can now be made via a card machine!

Whereas not just just because he is ex Wimbledon Efan Ekoku is excellent but just seems pigeonholed as an African football commentator

I hope JJ has noticed how Bradford turned the game round at half time though Wednesday are still inventing imaginative ways not to score.

Laughing heartily at anything also seems to be an attribute à la Micahaha Richards.

Jobi McAnuff is such an impressive pundit - how is he still doing lower league stuff. Clinton Morrison on the other hand spouts nonsense yet he’s on Soccer Saturday etc.

Wednesday will rue those early missed chances I reckon
Yeah it was a late goal that beat us. Our equaliser caught everyone by surprise and was a great celebration as a result but we had done everything other than play football that game I’d rather watch us put in a pitifully bad performance and get done 10-0 than watch an approach like that to a game of football ever again.

We were literally time wasting from halfway through the first half. That’s not us. Dreadful appointment as manager and I reckon the squad made their minds up about him that day and that’s why we continued our winless run through to the end of the season and why he’s not in football anymore.
Wasn't it a late goal that beat us? I didn't appreciate our younger fans singing :we're f*****g s**t on the Tram back to the City. Wednesday fans laughing at us - great

My dad always said to me that it says a lot about a football club if it needs a drum to create an atmosphere.

Last match at Hillsborough for us must have been either first game or early in “that bloke who took over from Robbo but achieved nothing”’s reign but was possibly the most shameful approach to football I’ve seen us play. It’s ok to be rubbish and ok to be out of our depth but that day we played such anti-football, time wasting from within the first half and doing anything other than play the game it was embarrassing.

I get that the guy must have walked in to a nightmare scenario in terms of club and squad and dons trust board members but that was never going to be the answer. Only lost 2-1 though I don’t think we’ll do that this season.
I suppose Drums come ‘noise making equipment’ which are prohibited on the new health and safety list.

Hate drums at football
Bradford getting absolutely hammered 0-0. I fear it will noe be a pretty sight when we play Wednesday.

Yeah our home form will continue to suck because of the “oh well let’s have a beer” brigade that don’t say it anymore but still live it every home game cosying up to each other for validation while blaming fans for our financial failings.

John Sullivan. Decent keeper and went on to be a very successful “realtor” in the US fair play to him.

Reeves is probably manager material but who knows what he might want to do when he retires. Didn't we have someone in the early AFCW days whose ambition was to be an estate agent?

I'm sure a few here would be worried about the playing style Reeves might go for as a manager
