It’s been a while since AFC Wimbledon striker Jack Midson wrote for us. He’s been fairly busy to be fair, bagging goals for his club to the extent that he is currently joint top goalscorer in League Two. Nevertheless, Jack has been kind enough to take a few moments out to answer a few of your questions. What do you miss most about your previous club Oxford? What I miss about Oxford is mainly the ground. It was a lovely place to play home games and is more like a Championship ground than a League Two ground. I also miss…

The Not So Secret Footballer: A Wombling Merry Christmas
Since the summer, AFC Wimbledon striker Jack Midson has been keeping us in the loop with life in the lower leagues of English football. Jack has now reached double figures in the league this season but things aren’t going so well for the team as a whole at the moment. In his latest column, Jack gives an insight into his first Christmas with the Dons and remains confident that things will improve soon. The Christmas period is always a busy time for football. I trained on Christmas Day for the last two years while I was at Oxford and stayed…
The Not So Secret Footballer: Cliques, shakes and welcome breaks
It has been a little while since we last heard from our man on the inside of the professional game. It seems that we picked well - no player in League Two has more goals so far this season than AFC Wimbledon striker Jack Midson, who began his occasional column back in the summer when he was still looking for a club. Jack has nine league strikes this season, which is nine more than a certain Argentinian superstar has managed… It has been in the press a lot and it is still going on - yes, it’s the Carlos Tevez…
The Not So Secret Footballer and the So Solid singalong
Fines, fruits and riots - Jack Midson reveals all about AFC Wimbledon’s first few weeks in the Football League. We have had a mixed start to the season. We had some very good away wins at Dagenham & Redbridge and Plymouth but then slipped up quite convincingly at Macclesfield and left Aldershot with a draw after they scored a late equaliser. Our first home win of the season came against a good Port Vale side and there was also a convincing win against Cheltenham. We need to improve our home form slightly and make Kingsmeadow a fortress. Hopefully we can…
The Not So Secret Footballer: The Football League season begins
It has been a while since my last article, writes Jack Midson, but I am pleased to say I have been asked to write again. Thanks for all the feedback from the previous pieces. This latest article is an insight into what I’ve been up to since going back to pre-season training and what a footballer may encounter on the lead-up to the start of the season. In the past, a pre-season break would normally mean eight weeks off. It seems as if the breaks are getting shorter and shorter. Although I am a fan of the play-offs in every…
