Alderman was 'crucial' in bringing football to Milton Keynes
Labour stalwart Alderman Kevin Wilson served on MK Council for decades and was one of the first people to listen to Pete Winkelman when he presented his dream of creating professional football in the city.
"Kevin’s contribution, whilst Leader of the Council, in the establishment of the Football Club in Milton Keynes was crucial and MK Dons will forever be grateful for that support and encouragement.

"The thoughts of everyone at the Football Club and the SET are with Kevin’s family and friends at this very sad time."
