The card features Hartson as a West Ham United player. He had joined from Arsenal in February 1997 for £3.2 million, becoming the club’s most expensive signing at the time. The 1997-98 season saw him become West Ham’s leading marksman, scoring 24 goals in all competitions.
Born in Swansea on 5 April 1975, Hartson began his career at Luton Town before joining Arsenal at the age of 19 for a then British record fee for a teenager. He went on to enjoy his greatest success at Celtic, where he scored over 100 goals and won three league titles. He won 51 caps for Wales, scoring 14 goals.
