Gil Merrick was more than just a goalkeeper — he was Birmingham City.
Born in Sparkhill in 1922, Merrick signed professional terms with his hometown club before the Second World War and went on to serve Birmingham City for over two decades. From wartime football and Second Division triumphs to FA Cup Finals, European nights, and England caps, his story is one of loyalty, resilience, and quiet greatness.
With over 700 appearances for the Blues, 23 caps for England, and a place in history as the club’s only player-turned-manager, Merrick’s legacy still lives on at St Andrew’s in the stand that bears his name.
This is the story of a footballer who never chased fame — he stayed, and became a legend.
