Dickie Guy was a goalkeeper for Wimbledon F.C. between 1967 and 1978, making over 500 appearances for the club. He was signed from local rivals Tooting and Mitcham who signed him as a junior from Millwall.
Guy shot to fame during the non-league club's spectactular 1975 FA Cup run, holding a clean sheet as the Dons knocked out First Division Burnley at Turf Moor. Guy became a Dons legend with a heroic display in the following round at Elland Road, keeping another clean sheet and saving a Peter Lorimer penalty to earn a replay against reigning English Champions, Leeds United. He moved to Maidstone United after leaving Wimbledon and played in their giant-killing defeat of Charlton Athletic. More recently Dickie made a comeback playing for a Wimbledon old boys team against a rival Liverpool team at Kingsmeadow.
As a popular former player, Dickie Guy was an outspoken opponent of the club's proposed re-launch as Milton Keynes Dons and was subsequently a popular choice among Wimbledon fans as President of AFC Wimbledon.
