A look back at some memorable images from the Dons' old stomping ground in south London.

AFC Wimbledon's near 30-year exile from Plough Lane ended on Tuesday night when they hosted Doncaster at the Sky Bet League One club's newly-completed home stadium.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look back at some memorable images from the old ground in south London.
