The Wimbledon Football Team, FA Cup Winners 1988 pictured during their victorious homecoming to Wimbledon. The town have turned out in their thousands to greet them. Wimbledon beat Liverpool, 1-0 in the final at Wembley only 24 hours before. The 1988 FA Cup Final was the 107th final of the FA Cup. Liverpool were the club side of the 1980s and were newly crowned league champions going into this final. However, Wimbledon were the underdogs. Despite all odds, Wimbledon won the contest with a Laurie Sanchez goal in the 37th minute and a penalty save from their goalkeeper and captain Dave Beasant, denying Liverpools John Aldridge's spot kick.

Surrounding them is an ocean of ecstatic fans who have come out en masse to celebrate this historic victory. This image serves as a testament to both determination and teamwork, showcasing how even against formidable opponents, success can be achieved through sheer grit and perseverance.
