Wilson Constantino Novo Estrela (born 13 March 1969), known simply as Wilson, is an Angolan former footballer who played as a central defender.
He also possessed Portuguese nationality, due to the many years spent in the country.
Wilson was born in Moçâmedes, Portuguese Angola. In a career which spanned exactly two decades, always in Portugal, he represented Caldas SC (twice), S.C. Olhanense, O Elvas CAD, Gil Vicente F.C., C.F. Os Belenenses (having a lengthy Primeira Liga spell with both),[1] A.D. Ovarense and G.C. Alcobaça, the latter in the fourth division.[2]
Wilson retired in 2008, at the age of 39.
Wilson was an Angolan international for 13 years, appearing at the 1996 African Cup of Nations in South Africa.[3] On 14 November 2001, he was one of four Angolan players sent off during a 5–1 friendly loss in Portugal; the game was abandoned after 70 minutes after the Africans were reduced to six men due to injury.[4] [5]
