Stats
Bio
A diminutive forward standing just 173cm, Alan Wilson's brief VFL career with Fitzroy was defined by a promising debut during the 1959 season. Selected as a 19-year-old for the Round 7 clash against St Kilda at the Junction Oval, Wilson made an immediate impact by booting two goals in a match where the Lions were plagued by horrific inaccuracy, eventually losing by seven points despite registering 35 scoring shots to the Saints' 22. He retained his place in the side for the following week's low-scoring slog against Collingwood at Brunswick Street, tasting victory as the Roys held on for a ten-point win. However, unable to hit the scoreboard in the tight contest, Wilson was omitted the following week and did not play senior football again, leaving the league with the respectable record of two goals from two starts.
