Football

(Carlton VFL)

He was recruited from Tatura Football Club by the Carlton Secretary, Arthur Ford, who, having been alerted to the potential of the Shepparton player, Tom McCluskey, had gone to see a match between Tatura and Shepparton on Wednesday 24 August 1910, and was so impressed that he immediately signed up both Shepparton's McClusky and Tatura's Wilson.[8]

Wilson and McClusky both made their debut for Carlton against Richmond, at Princes Park, on the following Saturday, 27 August 1910, and both played for the Carlton First XVIII that lost to Collingwood in the 1910 Grand Final.
