The white pixels we see around your image are pixels that aren't either completely opaque or completely transparent, that's caused by the anti-aliasing when your remove the background. When saving as a gif, the pixels have to be either completely opaque or completely transparent, so those pixels that aren't 100% transparent are kind of merged with white when you export as a gif. I'm not sure if this is in photoshop 5, but see if there's an option with the magic wand to remove the Anti-Alias, in my version of photoshop, it's a little box that I check or uncheck, I guess if it's available in ps5 it's probably something similar. By using the wand with the anti-alias uncheck, the pixels of your image will be either completely transparent or completely opaque, no in between. I hope I'm explaining this well enough and it's not too confusing.
