KEY PLAYER

Dean Lewington

THE 38-YEAR-OLD defender recently played his 900th professional game.

The defender started at Wimbledon in the 2002/03 season and moved with the club to Milton Keynes, where he has remained ever since. Lewington has the record for the most Football League or EFL appearances for a single club, while he has played in all eight of MK’s meetings with Barnsley since 2004. He is the club captain and plays at centre-back, having spent most of his career as a left-back.

In terms of attacking threat, they tend to rely on other veterans in

Will Grigg, who has five league goals, and ex Leeds midfielder

Bradley Johnson who has three. Grigg, a former Northern

Ireland team-mate of Michael

Duff, scored home and away the last time the two clubs were in the same division and then netted three more times against the Reds for Wigan.

He has 116 goals in 361 League One games, six short of the division’s record under that name.
