Alex Wilson (footballer born 1933)
- Alex Wilson (footballer born 1933)
Alexander Wilson (born 29 October 1933 in Buckie) is a retired Scottish football defender (left or right full back).
He joined Portsmouth on leaving school in 1949, turning professional the following year, and played there for 18 years, winning a Division 3 championship in 1962. In 1967 he moved to Chelmsford City for a short spell before retiring.
He won his only cap for Scotland in their final preparation match for the 1954 FIFA World Cup Finals against Finland, this coming after just 25 league matches. Although named Scotland's 22 man squad for Switzerland, Scotland decided to take only 13 of the 22 to the finals. Wilson stayed at home on reserve with the likes of Bobby Combe and Jimmy Binning. Inside forward George Hamilton was also on reserve but travelled after Bobby Johnstone withdrew through injury.
