West Ham United made a solid return to the top flight a year after being relegated, as they overcame the sale of captain Julian Dicks to Liverpool and achieved a 13th-place finish in the Premiership. Their form throughout the season was solid and they were never seriously threatened by relegation, and they even finished above their expensively-assembled local rivals Tottenham. The veteran striker-partnership of Trevor Morley and Lee Chapman scored goals at a decent rate and rarely showed much sign of their age (32 and 34 respectively). It was a solid season from a hard-working but unremarkable squad who defied the odds to keep clear of trouble without making a serious bid for honours.
