Wimbledon Football Club's controversial relocation to Milton Keynes in 2003, followed by a rebranding to MK Dons, continues to evoke strong emotions among fans and football traditionalists. Defender Dean Lewington, who debuted during that tumultuous period, reflects on the challenges, including the club's administration and the selling of senior players. While initially unsettling, some saw the move as a necessary step to prevent the club from folding. Today, the debate over the club's legitimacy and identity persists, highlighting the deep divide in opinions surrounding this historic decision.
"When we were told about the move, it affected us, but because we weren't in the first team yet, it didn't really concern us massively."
"Even after more than 20 years, the rebranding remains controversial, something Lewington recognises. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week."
