Alan Wilson (24 April 1920 – 6 April 2015)[1] played first-class cricket for Lancashire as a tail-end batsman and wicketkeeper between 1948 and 1962.[2] He was born at Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire, England.
Wilson played 171 first-class matches for Lancashire over 15 seasons, but was intermittently throughout his career superseded by other wicketkeepers who were generally better batsmen: Alfred Barlow in 1950, Frank Parr in 1953 and John Jordan in 1956. He was finally supplanted by Geoff Clayton in 1959 but returned for a single game in 1962 when he was granted a benefit to reward his loyalty.
