History

The two clubs have only ever met once since MK Dons were formed in 2004.

They were originally Wimbledon who played in South London, they were somehow allowed to move over sixty miles north, change their name and start as MK Dons.

So somehow Milton Keynes got a professional Football League outfit without having to work their way up through the many tiers of Non League football to rightfully earn their place in the Football League.

In fact they returned any trophies and medals that belonged to Wimbledon back to the Wimbledon Independent Supporters Association and agreed not to claim any history that happened during the days of Wimbledon FC.

The two clubs only meeting came earlier this season when MK Dons won 3-1, Robert Snodgrass scored Leeds only goal.
