1997 Merlin Premier Gold #110 Alan Shearer MGC 9

1997 Merlin Premier Gold #110 Alan Shearer MGC 9

This Alan Shearer card is number 110 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.

Shearer was in his second season at Newcastle when this card was issued, having signed for his hometown club from Blackburn Rovers for a world record £15 million in the summer of 1996. He had already been named PFA Players’ Player of the Year for the second time at the end of the 1996-97 campaign.

The 1997-98 season was played under Kenny Dalglish, who had replaced Kevin Keegan as manager in January 1997. Despite Shearer’s continued goalscoring, Newcastle finished 13th in the Premier League, a significant drop from their consecutive second place finishes. He remained the focal point of the side and continued to add to his reputation as one of the most prolific strikers in the history of the English game.
