From the moment AFC Wimbledon were drawn against Liverpool, there was one match that came immediately to everybody’s mind: the 1988 FA Cup final.
And there’s one moment from that match that stands out above all others, too – the John Aldridge penalty that was saved by Dave Beasant.
It was 1-0 to the unfashionable Crazy Gang when referee Brian Hill pointed the spot. The rest unfolded a bit – but not entirely – like this.
The modern-day incarnation of the Crazy Gang – AFC Wimbledon – face Liverpool in the third round tonight.
