AFC WIMBLEDON are at the centre of an FA probe after “disgusting” abuse was directed at Charlton manager Karl Robinson by a volunteer member of their groundstaff.
The Addicks boss exploded after hearing the vile remarks, believed to be about his 10-year-old daughter, on the pitch following the 1-1 draw in League One on Saturday.
Robinson, who was a target after managing Wimbledon’s bitter rivals MK Dons for six years, had to be held back by both players and coaches and he was still seething during his post-match interview at Kingsmeadow.

Robinson said: “There are certain aspects of it that were disgusting and should never be allowed.
“We get stick and it is part and parcel of the game but when an employee says what he said it shows their class as a human being. Then he walked away.
