    It is reported that owner Sam Hammam told the squad that they were all up for sale after the Cup win. A shrewd businessman.

    Andrew Watson: The Liverpool team cost £6m to assemble - the Wimbledon team were sold for £10m !!!

  6. All eyes on the Eurospublished at 17:16 Greenwich Mean Time 5 January 2015

    That's another domestic season wrapped up then. Liverpool undoubtedly the very cream of the crop but they couldn't get the Double secured when it mattered. All credit to Wimbledon.

    So what next? Well of course the 1988 European Championship is on the horizon. Could a Dons player or two make it into Bobby Robson's squad for West Germany?

    England will play the Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands and the Soviet Union in their Group. A formality.

    Wimbledon midfielder Vinnie Jones: "We were told it would be a battle for midfield and it surely was. But there were another nine players out there.

    "I'm just happy for the lads and I hope the lads were watching back home in the pub."

    What a Cup final, what a shock and what a bit of programming from our esteemed colleagues Des Lynam, Jimmy Hill, John Motson and Bob Wilson, I hope you'll agree.

    Dave Beasant: "We were offered two tickets each to celebrate at a top London hotel or 10 tickets each for a marquee - or as we called it a tent - on the pitch at Plough Lane. So all our families were there and it was a quiet night."

    Lawrie Sanchez: "Match of the Day came live from the corner of the tent. To be able to walk over and do it live was a dream come true."

    "If Liverpool are the team of the century, well today we've seen the turn-up of the century."

    Classic Des.

    Wimbledon captain Dave Beasant on his penalty save: "I just tried to stand up.

    "We have watched John Aldridge's other penalties and he puts a lot to the keeper's left. He didn't do his shuffle. If keepers don't move he tends to go that way and luckily he did."

    Wimbledon players

    Match winner Lawrie Sanchez: "I only score one or two but only the important ones. This one was quite important as well. I had a special hair cut for the day and it worked.

    "It was not a penalty. Clive Goodyear played the ball back to the keeper. It was a perfectly good tackle but Dave Beasant likes to have his moment and save a penalty now and again.

    "It was a good penalty and a great save. Dave is one of the best keepers in the country, what can you do against him?"

    Wimbledon boss Bobby Gould: "Do you expect us to come here just to please you in the media? We've worked hard all season. It's taken a lot of blood sweat and tears but we did it."

    Wimbledon assistant Don Howe: "We spent two hours yesterday afternoon working on set-pieces when a lot of clubs would have rested. Liverpool were on top for long periods but they never really created anything.

    "There is room at the top. It shouldn't be just Manchester United or Liverpool every year at the top."

    Wimbledon owner Sam Hammam is handed the trophy. He is understandably delighted.

    The Wimbledon lads are out for the BBC cameras. Vinnie Jones is sporting a huge shiner. The legacy of that early challenge on Steve McMahon.

    Wimbledon boss Bobby Gould singles out BBC pundit and lifelong friend Bob Wilson in the stands before also gesturing to former Dons boss Dave Bassett. That's partly for you, or words to that effect. What a lovely touch.

    Vinnie Jones looks to be on the edge of glory. Or chaos.
