During the 1993âÂÂ94 English football season, Wimbledon F.C. competed in the FA Premier League and finished the season in sixth place, equalling their best ever league finish which had previously been set in 1987.
Those who thought that Wimbledon, the Premiership's smallest side in terms of financial resources and fan base (and without even their own home), would not sustain themselves in the Premier League were quickly proven wrong. The consistent goalscoring of striker Dean Holdsworth returned Wimbledon to their winning ways after two mediocre seasons and they quickly re-established themselves as one of the hardest-to-beat sides in England. They finished sixth in the table - equalling their highest-ever finish - and, of all the London clubs, only Arsenal finished above them. They also finished two places above Liverpool - the dominant English side of the previous two decades - and four places above the previous seasonâÂÂs league runners-up Aston Villa, also inflicting one of just four league defeats suffered by double winners Manchester United.
Ribero became Wimbledon's new kit manufacturers, while London radio station LBC became the kit sponsors. The kit saw Wimbledon wear navy shirts for the first time since 1893; they were matched with navy shorts and socks for the first time in Wimbledon's history.
