Bio
Recruited from Glen Iris, Ray Wilson established himself as a technically sound rover and wingman during a transformative era for the Hawthorn Football Club. Joining the senior list in 1966, he became a consistent contributor under the tutelage of John Kennedy Snr, valued for his clean disposal and ability to read the play. While not a prolific goal-kicker, his work rate and reliability allowed him to notch over a century of games in the brown and gold, playing a supporting role to the club's superstars during their ascent up the ladder.
Wilson's career is defined by his contribution to Hawthorn's 1971 premiership victory over St Kilda. Selected as the 19th man for the Grand Final, he was injected into the game during a physically punishing contest, helping the Hawks overcome a three-quarter time deficit to secure the club's second flag. Despite reaching the pinnacle of the sport, his time at the top level concluded relatively early, as he retired following the 1972 season at just 27 years of age.
