Bio
Recruited from the powerful local amateur side Beverley, Lou Wilson was a local product who experienced a stop-start career at Punt Road during the turbulent years leading into the First World War. He made his senior debut in the 1913 season but struggled to cement a regular position in the Tigers' lineup, managing just two appearances before dropping out of the side for the entire 1914 campaign. Wilson earned a recall in 1915, likely benefiting from the depletion of VFL playing lists as the war effort ramped up, adding another two caps to his tally as a mature-age depth player. His brief tenure at the top level concluded at the end of that season, leaving him as one of the many fringe footballers who filled a vital role in keeping the competition afloat during an era of significant instability.
