Club formed in 1889 (as Wimbledon Old Centrals FC) or 2004 (as Milton Keynes Dons)

During the 2003/2004 season, the club was being manged by the Administrators and many of the team's best players were being sold off. At the end of a very poor season, the club were relegated to League One (the new name for the Second Division). During the summer of 2003, Winkleman helped finance the National Hockey Stadium's conversion for football. In September 2003, Wimbledon F.C. moved into the National Hockey Stadium in Milton Keynes. By spring of 2004, Winkleman bought (or had to buy, to save his investments to date) the business out of bankruptcy.

In February 2005, the club's contractors started work on a new stadium and arena complex at Denbigh North near Bletchley railway station. The complex will combine an (initially2) 22,000 seat outdoor stadium with a 5,000 seat indoor arena, where the MK Lions basketball team will be based. The stadium, designed to UEFA's Four Star specification, is due to open in time for the 2006–07 campaign.
