Wilson first played Gaelic football and hurling as a schoolboy at St. Joseph's CBS in Fairview. His performances in the various schools' competitions earned his inclusion on the Leinsterurling team that won the All-Ireland colleges' title in 1949.

He became a dual player at senior level and was a substitute on the Dublin senior hurling team that lost to Cork in the 1952 All-Ireland final, having earlier won a Leinster SHC title. Wilson later won three National League titles with the Dublin senior football team and was at full-back when Derry were beaten in the 1958 All-Ireland final.[3] [4]
