dunsbyowl Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 The Wednesday's all time highest scorer died 68 years ago today. Debuting in 1900 he played for Wednesday for 20 years. In 545 (curtailed by WW1) appearances he scored 216 goals (or 217!) He played 6 times for Scotland and whilst at Wednesday won 2 League Championships and one FA Cup. Wilson (on the left) with FA Cup in 1907. 2 Captain Wilsons - facing one of his 2 footballing brothers vs Oldham in 1911/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nigeyy Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Very relieved to see that unlike his brother, his choice of shorts didn't extend to the "David Seaman" Grandpa style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunsbyowl Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Very relieved to see that unlike his brother, his choice of shorts didn't extend to the "David Seaman" Grandpa style. I think our Wilson is the one on the right (if those are the shorts you are admiring!)

KivoOwl Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Does he have wall of fame or anything at the Ground? No. But Brian Laws does. As does Ozzie Owl... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 No. But Brian Laws does. As does Ozzie Owl... Yes thought so. Guess more people would buy a brick in Brian Laws wall or Ozzie Owl wall sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
