Biography

[edit]

Wilson was born in Weston-super-Mare and educated at Dragon School[1] and Chatham House Grammar School.[3] While studying at St Edmund Hall at the University of Oxford,[4] Wilson played two first-class cricket matches for Oxford University in 1964,[5][6] against Hampshire and Derbyshire at Oxford.[7] He scored 56 runs in his two matches, with a high score of 30.[8]

He was selected for Wales in 1963 and continued to represent Wales thereafter.[9] Wilson represented Great Britain at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City in the men's tournament.[1] At the time of his Olympic selection he played for the City of Oxford Hockey Club.

Wilson spent most of his career as a teacher at the Dragon School in Oxford, retiring in 2021.[10] He died in March 2024, and a memorial service in his honour was held at the school on 22 September 2024.[11]
