A.F.C. Bournemouth is an English football club currently playing in Football League One. The club plays at Dean Court in Kings Park, Boscombe, Bournemouth, Dorset and have been in existence since 1899.

Nicknamed The Cherries, the team traditionally played in red shirts with white sleeves until 1971, when the strip was changed to red and black stripes, similar to that of A.C. Milan. A predominantly red shirt was chosen for the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons before announcing a return to the stripes for the 2006-07 season due to fan demand. After narrowly avoiding relegation from the football league in the 2008-09 season, Bournemouth were promoted in the 2009-10 to League One after a 2-0 win away against Burton Albion on the 24th April 2010, they won their last home game that season 4-0 against Port Vale before losing 2-1 to Chesterfield F.C. in the last ever game to be played at Saltergate.

This little clip records one of the last stages in George Best's footballing career. This news report is from 26th March 1983. AFC Bournemouth manager Don Megson signed the 36-year-old Best for the Football League Third Division side, and he remained there until the end of the season, when he finally retired from football at the age of 37. He made four appearances but didn't score a goal. The last word gets clipped at the end. The missing word is 'nil'
