Jimmy Wilson

James Thompson Wilson (15 March 1924 – 16 January 1987), also known as Tug Wilson, was an English footballer. He was capable of playing as either a half back or a forward.

His father, Andy Wilson, played for Middlesbrough and Chelsea in the 1920s and 1930s, and was a Scottish international.

Although born in Middlesbrough, Wilson started his career in London, as an amateur at Fulham. He later played for Gravesend & Northfleet, Chelsea and Leeds United, before joining Watford in December 1950. Although largely a reserve at Vicarage Road, Wilson amassed 51 starts in all competitions over his seven years at the club, before joining Southend United for the 1957–58 season.
