Andrew Wilson (footballer, born 1879)

Andrew Wilson (10 December 1879 – 13 March 1945) was a Scottish footballer who played the majority of his career at Sheffield Wednesday, and was also called up to the Scotland national team.[3] Born into a farming family in Colmonell and raised in Dundonald, South Ayrshire,[4][5] Wilson started his football career at local junior club Irvine Meadow before moving onto Clyde in Glasgow.[6][7][8] Wilson moved to newly promoted The Wednesday in 1900 where he spent the rest of his playing days.With his career seemingly having come to an enforced end as a result of the onset of World War I, he made one final league appearance before retiring on 10 March 1920, aged 39 years and 91 days,[6] becoming the oldest player to play for the Owls; this record stood until it was beaten by player-manager Trevor Francis in 1993.[9][6] Wilson began a managerial career after his playing retirement, initially with Bristol Rovers where he spent over five years between March 1921 and the end of the 1925-26 season.
