From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wallace Mercer (June 4 1946 - January 17 2006) was chairman of Heart of Midlothian F.C. from 1981 to 1994. He is remembered mainly for his attempt to merge Hearts with their Edinburgh rivals Hibernian. He led Hearts for over a decade. Before he came along the club was struggling and often relegated.
He was heavily criticised in Edinburgh in the mid '80s as only being interested in the property value of the club's ground.
He died of cancer in early 2006.
