I believe this club deserves a thread and a space amongst the forum, it's worth it. It may look like a small, lower-league team, but let me tell you it's far from that.
First, let's start with some history. In 2002, the FA granted a moving permission from Wimbledon FC, who won the FA Cup in 1988 and have Vinnie Jones as one of their most emblematic players in their history, to Milton Keynes. The vast majority of the fans were deeply against this move, and consequently established the Association Football Club Wimbledon that same year, thus no longer representing the old Wimbledon. It is considered to be a "phoenix club", since in 2004 Wimbledon FC was refounded as Milton Keynes Dons.
Now, here comes the interesting part. Since their foundation they started in the ninth tier of English football, and have been promoted five times in only nine years of history (The only club to have achieved so is the now defunct Rushden and Diamonds), as they are now a fully professional club playing in the Football League Two. They hold the record for the longest unbeaten strike (No, it isn't Arsenal); 78 matches between February 2003 and December 2004. Other accolades include being the youngest club to ever reach the Football League and the fist one founded in the 21st Century to join it. They even played a Derby against the MK Dons in 2011 for the FA Cup, but they lost 2-1.
At the moment they managed not only to avoid relegation, but also this season are staying at the middle of the table. The last match they played was a 3-0 away win against Wycombe Wanderers. Hope to see them one day erach the Premier League in at least twenty years from now
