Former England defender Ryan Bertrand is leading a consortium that has proposed an £87 million minority investment into League One club AFC Wimbledon. The substantial financial backing represents a major potential investment for the lower-league side, spearheaded by the retired professional footballer and his group.

The involvement of a high-profile former player heading the consortium highlights ongoing trends of professional athletes transitioning into sports ownership and investment syndicates.
