Description

AFC Wimbledon is a semi-professional English football club, affiliated to both the London and Surrey Football Associations, which takes its name from, and traces its origins to, Wimbledon in the London Borough of Merton.

The club and its supporters regard the club as the direct continuation of the former Wimbledon F.C., and consider that the new MK Dons are not representative of the legacy and tradition of the club.

The club spent its first two seasons in the Premier Division of the Combined Counties League, but were promoted in only the second year of its existence to the Isthmian League Division One for the 2004-05 season, after winning the Combined Counties League championship with an unbeaten league season. They then proceeded to win the Isthmian League Division One at the first attempt, thereby earning automatic promotion to the Isthmian League Premier Division. The 2005-06 season saw the club finish fourth, thus entering the play-offs for promotion to the Conference South, however they were defeated 2-1 by Fisher Athletic.

The club currently hold the all-time English record for the most consecutive unbeaten league games by any senior football club, having achieved 78 league matches in a row without defeat over a period spanning three seasons.
