How they got there
Preamble
The last match of the English domestic season sees Wimbledon return to the scene of their most famous coup. Not 2016, but 1988. Walsall looked nailed on to be automatically promoted only to lose their way as the season dragged on. Walsall were 30 seconds from automatic promotion until Antoni Sarcevic’s 96th-minute winner for Bradford to usurp them. Here is their redemption arc but the good people of Earlsfield and Morden will be roaring on their Dons.
Kick-off is at 3.01pm, join me.
