AFC Wimbledon vs Ramsgate: preview 

If you were to distil what the FA Cup is all about into one fixture, AFC Wimbledon vs Ramsgate would be it. The Dons were formed by fans back in 2002 when the original Wimbledon upped sticks for Milton Keynes (to much, understandable opprobrium) and have forged their way back into League Two, while eighth-tier Ramsgate is in the second round of the FA Cup for the very first time. Giant-killing opportunities don't come much bigger.

Dating back to the club's first iteration, AFC Wimbledon is among the most storied of FA Cup sides. In 1988, the so-called Crazy Gang of John 'Awooga' Fashanu, penalty-saving hero Dave Beasant and future Hollywood star Vinnie Jones ripped up the rulebook to beat Liverpool in the Wembley final. Since the club's reformation in 2002, it's won five promotions in nine seasons to return to the Football League and boss Johnnie Jackson has his sights set on another good run.

Last season, the Dons needed a replay to beat sixth-tier Weymouth before falling to another non-league side, Chesterfield, in the second round. With James Tilley in fine goalscoring form and Harry Pell a constant set-piece menace, the Wombles will want to reach the third round.

Ramsgate is the the story of the 2023/24 FA Cup. From the eighth tier Isthmian League South East Division – four divisions below Monday's opponents – the Rams began its tournament journey back in August's preliminary round with a 4-1 defeat of Bexhill United in front of 421 spectators. This will be the Kent side's eighth game in this season's competition, playing seven rounds with one replay, to get this far and in the previous round beat fifth-tier Woking of the National League.

The hero that day was 36-year-old midfielder Lee Martin, once signed by Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United for £1m, who will face his first club today after coming through the Wimbledon academy. Another familiar face – or perhaps voice – is former England U19 midfielder Medy Elito, better known as grime star Don EE, whose 2017 You Alright, Yh? was shared by no poorer judge than Beyonce on Instagram. Can the Rams pull off the shock of the round and make it to the draw along with the Premier League big boys?
