Season summary

1992–93 began as a struggle for Wimbledon, with the club third from bottom on Boxing Day. However, the team recovered well in the new year and finished the season in a comfortable 12th place, above more highly-fancied and wealthier clubs like Everton and Leeds United. Highlights of the season included a 4-0 home win over South London rivals Crystal Palace, two crushing wins over Oldham Athletic (5-2 at home and 6-2 away), doing the double over Liverpool (2-0 home, 3-2 away) and a shock 1-0 away win over that season's champions, Manchester United.

Kit

Wimbledon's kit was manufactured by English company Admiral. The kits carried no sponsorship for the season.
