The Importance of Penalty Shootouts
Wimbledon were forced to move from their stadium, Plough Lane, in 1991. Wimbledon fans responded by reforming a club that they would own. They held tryouts in a public park, hired a coach and found a ground for their games. In 2011, AFC Wimbledon made it all the way to the playoff final in the fifth tier. At the end of that game, it was tied, so it went to a penalty shootout. 19-year-old Seb Brown saves two penalties - now Wimbledon are just one spot kick away from football league.
