Denis Wilson (born 30 April 1936) is an English former footballer who played in the Football League for Stoke City.[1]
Wilson started his football career at Welsh side Wrexham's youth team; whilst he was a regular for their Reserve side, he never was able to break into the first team and left in 1955 to join Welsh league side Rhyl.[1] He spent three years at Rhyl and was a stand out performer in the league which attracted the attention of a number of Football League sides.[1] He joined Stoke City in 1958 with Frank Taylor acquiring the full backs signature. He made his debut for the "Potters" in a 6–1 win against Lincoln City in September 1959.[1] Wilson went on to make 13 more appearances for City before new manager Tony Waddington deemed him surplus to requirements and was released in 1961. He re-entered the Welsh league with Bangor City.[1]
