George Wilson (7 April 1887 – 10 January 1970) was a Scottish footballer who played mainly as a half back (capable of playing on either flank, or in the centre).[2] His only club at the professional level was Aberdeen where he spent eight years, having moved to the city as a teenager to study at its main university; he initially joined the Dons as a centre forward. He was forced to retire after sustaining a serious injury to his kneecap in January 1914.[1]
