Great video. Right up my street. I remember this sticker album well.

What a great video. The 1994 album was the closest I got to completing an album. I believe I was 23 stickers away. Got, got, need!

I'll always remember Ian Selley. He was the last player I needed to complete the book. It felt so amazing to finally complete it. Fast forward 10 years and i saw him score for Woking against Barnet.

Life fucking sucks when you cannot find missing stuff. For example, my very own Merlins 1993/94 Premier League Sticker Album.I have the 1994/95 album but for the life of me I don't know what happened to the 93/94. It's at times like this that I absolutely do NOT care for family members. The amount of my stuff those assholes have thrown away good grief.

So Southampton are a bigger club than Portsmouth just because they are currently in the top flight and have an academy? Do you even football bro?

if you are going to categorise this as ceremonial counties West Ham play in Essex

Ipswich don’t even know what a football is

As much as I hate modern day PL, as much I do love the 90s english football. So much atmosphere, aura and well, nostalgia. Look at all these jerseys, they‘re beautiful!

Robert fowler would have been a better pick

Lancashire is the home of football.

As a Wednesday fan I have to take issue with your choice. We've won nearly twice as many trophies as t'other lot, still spent more seasons in the EPL than them and played in Europe on numerous occasions which they never have. In addition at the end of this season it will be 100 years since they last won anything!

Still got this sticker album

Darren Caskey was a great signing on Championship Manager :)

Lol at Shrippely, all sounded pretty good, until he exposed himself 😂

Injuries the common theme here. Was at the game Ian Selley broke his leg….heard it go.

Torquay is bigger for sure

I love you could easily pick any 5 lads commenting on here and they could just chat away for hours about 90's footy 😊 Premier league, Match of the day/Grandstand, Football Italia, World cup 94 etc.....good times

Darren Caskey is the only player I have ever seen who has come on as a sub to take a free kick and then score it. I loved him at Reading, he had so much talent but sadly his work rate was terrible.

The trifecta of players that were bandied around at the time were Joachim, Gallen and Fowler. Caskey had scored the winner in the U18 UEFA European Cup but it had been Joachim & Fowler who was most impressive. Hanging around in same team was Scholes, Butt, Neville, Campbell and some quality players who suffered terrible injuries (Casper and Tinkler). Caskey dropped down a divisions hoping to be promoted with a Reading team that had come close the year before - but they couldn't repeat the form and he didn't shine in a struggling team in an aggressive division. Can remember as a kid opening the book, reading these player profiles, and wondering what kind of crack they were smoking.

That was a bad bunch. 6 shit kickers and a flasher.

Being tipped to be a rising star = kiss of death.

2:50 Froggatt got a bad ankle injury at Villa and was never the same player after.

Would love to see more of these!

More of these please

Great idea for a video

I had about 100 Colin coopers at one point 😂

Couldn't you find anything to say about Forest? 🤔

First time this channel popped up for me. I subscribed as this brought back a lot of nostalgia. Being on 95!

Impressive how Neil Shipperley gradually morphed into Neil Ruddock as his career progressed.

The black 95 merlin was the pinnacle! The red one was great aswell, I thinknitwas for 96 or 97.

Darren Eadie was 🐐

Sunderland are historically bigger than Newcastle

I've still got that, remember needing the andy gray sticker in the front for ages before finally filling it.

As someone who watched him at Chelsea, I'm appalled and saddened at Shipperly's fate. It's also unfortunate that he got done for indecent exposure. Whilst we're dealing with top drawer comedy, I should add that I unfailingly referred to Ian Sellie as Ian Smelly. In my defence, I was only 25 at the time.

Andy Cole at Newcastle was only 21 when the season kicked off and was about to make his Premier League debut... he scored 34 and won YPOTY. Sol Campbell was 18 before the season started and had only played one Premier League game. He went on to play 503 and won it twice with Arsenal. Robbie Fowler was 18 pre season and had never played Premier League football. He scored 12 that season and eventually 163 in 379 PL appearances. Gary Neville was 18 pre season, only played once in 93-94 but went on to play 400 PL games and win it 8 times. Ray Parlour was 20 and had only played 21 Premier League games prior to the season. He went on 385 PL appearances and won it 3 times with Arsenal. 5 U21 success stories that played in that season :)

Good video 👍 my only complaint is the music audio is too loud & drowning out your narration

Shipperley had a decent top flight career to be fair. Certainly out of that list.

Excellent video. Something tells me that Ryan Giggs or Steve McManaman should have been in the Merlin list

Nice vid about some old players that you heard about during the time, but didnt really know. As for who thet should have picked. Shearer and Andy Cole should probably be there if their ages match up.

I had both the 94 and 95 sticker books and I often wonder what happened to all those rising stars! As far as I could remember, they got them all wrong...which you have now proved

3:24 "He played FOUR seasons for the club, and played in SEVERAL unsuccessful playoff campaigns" Wow, he really was talented.. getting Wolves into 7 playoffs in just 4 years.

Excellent content, well edited and scripted. Just need to work on your audio levels.

baggy shapeless 90s shirts lol

The music is way too loud, needs to be subtle if needed at all, and your fighting to be heard. Just a technical comment.

Fun trip down into the Premier League vaults. Being a Norwich fan, I would bracket Eadie in the same category as Dean Ashton. Exceptionally talented, deprived of their best years by injury. Not sure there's anything that can prepare someone mentally for that. Thankfully, many of the ex Norwich pros are friends and even play on the same five aside team! (Holt, Hoolahan, Huckerby, Eadie...can you imagine?!)

You know you’re getting old, when you’re watching a rising star’s video, who are now 50.

I think some kid called Paul Scholes made his Premier league debut that year, I wonder what happened to him.

Great video I'd like see more of these sticker videos from 90s proper nostalgia
