Nesta Guinness-Walker has impressed for Stephen Robinson's Aberdeen this season, giving MK Dons fans hope amid the club's current League One struggles. The 26-year-old left-back, great grandson of Sir Alec Guinness, has been a standout performer in Aberdeen's new-look side after overcoming early setbacks in English academies.

How is Nesta Guinness-Walker performing for Aberdeen?

Guinness-Walker has started the season as first-choice left-back for Aberdeen and has been one of their top performers in the opening weeks. He attacked down the wing during Aberdeen's League Cup win over Dundee and has shown the character and attitude required to succeed at the top level. His only blip came in a 2-0 loss to Dundee at Dens Park, though he bounced back as Aberdeen exacted revenge with a 3-0 win.

Guinness-Walker dusted himself down after being released by Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur academies, instead forging his path through the Metropolitan Police, AFC Wimbledon, Reading, Stevenage and Northampton Town before joining Aberdeen. Across his time with Wimbledon and Northampton, he forged a reputation as an attacking full-back capable of influencing games at both ends of the pitch.
