Rodney Brookes
(1962/63 - 1964/65)
A strong centre-forward who joined the Dons in 1960, but was mostly confined to the reserves behind Wimbledon's all-conquering forward line of that era, particularly record goal-scorer Eddie Reynold.

He scored both goal in Wimbledon's 62/63 2-1 South of Thames Cup final victory over Kingstonian.

Stayed with the Dons when they joined the Southern League, but only made one appearance in that competition and left for Sutton United soon after the start of the 1965/66 season.

He joined Dulwich Hamlet in 1972 and made over 350 appearances for them and was voted player of the year in 1975/76. The following season he played in all 57 first-team matches to become the club's first ever-present for 17 years.
