Lurch's Wimbledon career was almost over as soon as it began. On his début he let in a goal through his legs. His saviour that night was Wally Downes, who said that it would be the making of him. Nine years later he lifted the FA Cup as club captain. His heroic save from the spot on 14 May 1988 secured his place in Dons folklore. He left for Newcastle a few days after the Cup Final and went on to play for England.
