Wilson was born in Dumfries and played in the local amateur scene for Crichton Royal before joining hometown club Queen of the South.[1] At Queens he was unable to secure a regular game ahead of Roy Henderson and was transferred to Clyde,[2] for whom he broke a finger in the 1955 Scottish Cup semi-final against Dave Halliday's Aberdeen and thus missed the final win against Celtic. In charge of the semi-final was referee Bob Davidson, father of another Queen of the South goalkeeper Alan Davidson.[3]
