Hugh Wilson (18 March 1869 – 7 April 1940) was a Scottish footballer who played for Sunderland, Third Lanark and the Scotland national football team as a wing half or inside forward.[3]
Club career
Born in
throw-ins,[7]
anecdotally it was reported that he initially used a one-armed technique which led to the rules being changed – however, the requirement to use both hands was formalised in 1883.
Wilson left Sunderland in 1899 to sign for
1904, the Scottish Cup the following year, and reaching the final in 1906.[3][9] He ended his playing days at Kilmarnock.[3][10]
International career
Wilson won his first cap for
Scottish League XI once, while with Third Lanark.[13]
Personal life
Wilson's son John was also a footballer; born in Sunderland, he played solely in the Scottish League, making over 400 appearances (mainly with Hearts), also serving in the army and being wounded during World War I.[14]
