Has been appointed the new manager of AFC Wimbledon.

Have some great memories of him playing for us on loan in the ill fated relegation season of 87-88.

If I remember correctly he scored a superb free kick in a 2-4 defeat around Xmas/New Year time at Edgar Street.

I think we had gone about 2 seasons without scoring directly from a free kick and Downes came in and scored 3 or 4 goals in about 8 appearences - almost all of which were from direct free kicks. Of course, my memory could be failing as quickly as the rest of me.

I think we had another Dons player on loan at the same time - Paul Clement or a similar name.
