1997 Merlin Premier Gold #72 Gary Speed MGC 9
This Gary Speed card is number 72 from the 1997 Merlin Premier Gold collection, covering the 1997-98 Premier League season.
Merlin Premier Gold was a premium trading card set produced annually during the late 1990s, featuring foil card designs across the Premier League.
Speed was in his second season at Everton when this card was issued, having signed from Leeds United for £3.5 million in July 1996. A versatile and consistent midfielder, he had been a key figure at Leeds for eight seasons before making the move to Goodison Park.
The 1997-98 campaign was a difficult one for Everton, who spent much of the season battling against relegation and finished 17th. Speed departed for Newcastle United in February 1998, bringing his time at Everton to an end after 18 months and 58 league appearances for the club.
