About The Author
Paul Merson
Paul Merson was born in Brent, London in 1968. He won two League Championships, an FA Cup, a League Cup and a European Cup-Winner’s Cup during his 12 years as a legend of Arsenal, before his surprise transfer to First Division Middlesbrough in 1997. He was instrumental in Boro gaining promotion to the Premiership in 1998⁄99, but left the club less than a month into the new season to join Aston Villa for £6.75 million. After five years with Villa he moved to Portsmouth in 2002 and was key in helping Pompey achieve promotion to the Premier League in 2003. Paul then played for - and managed - Walsall before finally retiring in 2006 after more than 600 appearances and 126 goals in a glittering career which also brought 21 England caps. Merson is now a panellist on SkySports’ iconic weekend football results show, Soccer Saturday.
