Gil Merrick (1922–2010) was one of the most celebrated goalkeepers in the UK during the mid-1950s. He dedicated his entire playing career to Birmingham City, amassing over 700 appearances, including 485 in the Football League, and was a key figure in the club's history.
Merrick also earned 23 caps for England and represented his country in the 1954 World Cup. After retiring from playing, he went on to manage Birmingham City, further cementing his legacy. His contributions to the club were honoured with the renaming of the Railway Stand at St Andrew’s stadium to the Gil Merrick Stand.
