Robert John "Bob" Wilson (born 23 May, 1943 in Birmingham) is a former English professional footballer.
Career
After starting his career at Aston Villa, Wilson joined Cardiff City in August 1964 as manager Jimmy Scoular's first signing for a fee of £2,000. In his first season at the club he helped the side to win the Welsh Cup and reach the quarter-finals of the European Cup Winners Cup, where they were knocked out by Real Zaragoza. The following season the club reached the semi-finals of the Football League Cup against West Ham United. Wilson was dropped after conceding five goals in the first leg only for his replacement to also concede five in the second leg. It was during this season that Wilson helped the club to reach the semi-final of the Cup Winners Cup, the furthest Cardiff have ever been in a European competition, where they suffered defeat against Hamburg. Despite constant pressure from Dilwyn John and Lyn Davies he managed to hold on to the number one spot for the majority of his stay at the club.
He left Cardiff in January 1970, after a short loan spell at Bristol City, for Exeter City where he was the clubs first choice goalkeeper for several years before retiring in 1976.
