Wimbledon vs Southampton – FA Cup Third Round Programme (1979)

The 1978–79 FA Cup was full of drama, and this Third Round tie was no exception.
Wimbledon, still outside the Football League, fielded a determined side including Ray Goddard, Alan Cork, Les Briley, and Steve Ketteridge, while Southampton arrived with a star‑studded First Division team featuring Alan Ball, Phil Boyer, Chris Nicholl, and Terry Curran.

Programmes from this fixture are increasingly sought after, especially by collectors of FA Cup upsets, non‑league history, and classic 1970s football design.
