Corinthian Casuals v AFc Wimbledon

There was a sense of history in the air at Wembley this weekend. Not history being made, but the history of the two clubs taking to the field. In the pink and chocolate shirts, Corinthian-Casuals: a club that plays strictly to the amateur code and the inspiration behind one of Brazil’s most famous names. In the blue and yellow, AFC Wimbledon: a relative newcomer in the literal sense to the football pyramid, but one with plenty of history and memories in their previous incarnation.

The occasion was a celebration of Corinthians 125th anniversary, although by happy coincidence, it also falls on the 20th anniversary of one of the greatest FA Cup upsets of all time: Wimbledon’s victory over Liverpool. You couldn’t get a more fitting venue than the home of English football.
