No individual photograph is known to survive for Joe Mercer; see the note on the players index for why we use a plain card rather than guess.
Already an established England international when he joined from Everton after the war, Mercer captained Arsenal to the League title in 1947–48 and the FA Cup in 1950. He went on to an equally distinguished career in management, most famously guiding Manchester City to the league title and two cups in the late 1960s.
