MK Dons

Few who were there will ever forget the moment that Gareth Edds scored the goal that saved us from relegation. 

As we prepared to meet them again this season, I challenged MK Dons’ fans on internet football forums to come up with a sentence, using no more than 15 words, which encapsulated their memories of the day. 

From the sublime to the ridiculous, the heart-warming to the, erm, well non-printable, the entries were brilliant. 

A few of them were printed in the match day programme for the Tranmere match, the full list is shown below:
