Tribute to Joe Kinnear

Former Dons manager is warmly remembered by our supporters

8 April 2024

We send our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Joe Kinnear after the former Wimbledon manager passed away at the age of 77.

Joe is rightly regarded as a Dons legend after his managerial feats in the 1990s.

After taking over the reins in 1992, Joe guided Wimbledon to a sixth place Premier League finish in 1993/94, regularly taking the scalps of the leading top-flight clubs during his tenure.

Joe's achievements were recognised in 1994 with the LMA Manager of the Year award. 

Two further top-10 finishes were achieved before he departed as manager in 1999 and the 1996/97 campaign is still warmly remembered by Dons supporters as it included reaching two domestic cup semi-finals.

A more extensive tribute to Joe will follow in the matchday programme for the Walsall game.
