With knee-high tackles, post-training pints and questionable diets, English football in the 80s and 90s was a different ball game. Perhaps no other club embodied that era more than Wimbledon, whose antics led to them being nicknamed the 'Crazy Gang'.
Nigel Winterburn might be best known for forming part of Arsenal's famously stingy back four under George Graham and Arsene Wenger, but the Englishman first rose to prominence at Wimbeldon, making more than league 150 appearances for the Dons between 1983 and 1987. Looking back on his time in south London Winterburn confirms that it was just as crazy, and often just as unprofessional, as fans might assume.
