D. Mercer, was an Englishfootballer who played in the English Football League for Bolton Wanderers.
D Mercer played his one League match in the 3rd month of the inaugural Football League season of 1888–1889, November 1888. His debut and only top-flight game was on 10 November 1888, at Dudley Road, Wolverhampton, then home of Wolverhampton Wanderers. He played at left-back in place of E. Siddons. The match was played on the same day that then Leader of the Opposition, The Rt Hon William Gladstone, PC MP was speaking in Wolverhampton. In those days that would've been a major competition for those planning to go to a match. Bolton got off to a great start against one of the top teams of that era. They gained an early lead. However Wolves were too strong and were 2-1 up at half-time. The 2nd half was close and Wanderers got an equaliser. But Wolverhampton got the winner towards the end of the game. Bolton finished the season in 5th place.
