Dickie Guy was a goalkeeper for Wimbledon F.C. between 1967 and 1978, making over 500 appearances for the club.

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.

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.
