Otsemobor admits the 'Heel of God' was a bit of a fluke

It could be MK Dons' most famous goal ever, but Jon Otsemobor admitted he did not mean to score the 'Heel of God' against AFC Wimbledon.

In the dying stages in the first ever meeting between Dons and AFC Wimbledon in December 2012 with the game finely poinsed at 1-1, Otsemobor diverted Zeli Ismael's wayward strike past keeper Neil Sullivan with an audacious flick of his right boot to secure the historic win.

Having scored a week earlier against Colchester, Otsemobor had a bet with then Dons boss Karl Robinson he would score again and made a B-line for the manager as wild scenes of celebrations broke out.

Speaking on the Under the Cosh podcast, Otsemobor admitted he was not aiming to score when he threw his boot at the ball.

"No I didn't mean to score!" he said. "If you watch the goal, when the ball comes in, they've miss-hit it and I thought I'd try and help it on to the back post. But I got a really good connection on it, I've looked at the keeper and thought 'he's never going to get to that' and it's gone in. So the fans named it the Heel of God.

"It was the first game against Wimbledon, it was the FA Cup. The stadium was full but anyone could go. They were supporting AFC Wimbledon because they didn't like what Peter Winkelman had done. We had random fans there cheering for AFC Wimbledon which was a bit pathetic."

Otsemobor, who made 53 appearances for Dons between 2012 and 2014, praised chairman Pete Winkelman for how he runs the club, and how he explained the importance of the fixture agaisnt AFC Wimbledon prior to the game.

He said: "He sat us all down and explained what he did with the club, about how he bought it for £500,000 and how me moved it to Milton Keynes.

"He's a nice fella, he's got his head screwed on. He's passionate about the club. They've got the setup to be a Premier League club. All the rent off the retail park goes into running the club – it's good the way he's done it."
