The YouTube Star That Helped Save a Football Club

submitted by my15minutes

Published on Apr 27, 2016
John Green is a best-selling author and a FIFA-loving YouTube star. AFC Wimbledon is a football club in London that plays in the fourth tier of the English football league system. The story of how one used his unorthodox fame to finance a club thousands of miles away is an inspiring tale of cultural exchange, triumphant populism, and the weird power of the internet.

Neal Ardley is a Liam Neason doppelganger.

I love this story. I have previously followed the rise through the ranks of the new AFC Wimbledon without being aware of John Green's involvement. But to add to the story, The Milton Keynes Dons (the old AFC Wimbledon) are being relegated to League One next year while the new AFC Wimbledon has qualified for a playoff for the last promotional spot in League Two. So next year they may be playing in the same league.
