Wimbledon/MK Dons

You have voted in your thousands for the best player to wear a Wimbledon/MK Dons shirt and the winner is .... Dean Lewington.

We asked fans of each of the 92 English League teams and Scottish Premier League sides to nominate their all-time favourite footballers and club stalwart Dean Lewington topped the poll.

FA Cup hero Lawrie Sanchez came in second while former captain Robbie Earle was third in the voting.

Dean Lewington

The only surviving member of the squad which moved from Wimbledon to Milton Keynes, Lewington has been recognised as the club's all-time greatest player.

Currently the club captain, Lewington is closing in on 300 first-team appearances, having made his debut back in the Wimbledon days in April 2003 against Sheffield Wednesday.

Primarily a left-back, Lewington was the Player of the Year in the final season at Wimbledon before the switch to Milton Keynes in 2004.

In total, he has spent 13 years on the club's books and is an integral member of Paul Ince's side, having played a key role in the recent successes.

He helped MK Dons to win the Johnstone's Paint Trophy in 2008 - the same year the club also won the League Two title.

Lewington was named in the PFA Team of the Year for League Two that season and followed that up by claiming a place in the PFA Team of the Year for League One last term.

His forays down the left flank are an integral part of the team's attacking system and his ability at set-pieces marks him out as a dangerous asset.

And his role in helping the club to establish themselves in Milton Keynes can also not be under-estimated, with Lewington fully committed to helping the Dons prosper.

Lawrie Sanchez

Former Northern Ireland international Sanchez is known for scoring two of the most famous goals in Wimbledon's history during a decade with the club.

Sanchez joined from Reading in 1984 and, two years later, scored the goal which helped Wimbledon clinch promotion to the top flight.

And another two years on, Sanchez headed home at Wembley as Wimbledon caused one of the greatest FA Cup shocks of all time by beating Liverpool 1-0 in the final.

Robbie Earle

A popular figure in the Wimbledon midfield after joining from Port Vale in 1991, Earle helped to maintain the 'Crazy Gang' spirit which had seen the club stay in the top flight for so long.

He was appointed club captain in 1995 and helped to run the Dons' engine room before being forced into retirement in 2000.
