Manchester City
Wilson was a member of the Manchester City youth team which lost to Aston Villa in the 1980 FA Youth Cup Final. He made his first team debut in a League Cup tie against Stoke City in October 1981. After a productive spell on loan at Chester City produced more than 20 league appearances, Wilson's subsequent appearances were infrequent until the 1984/85 season which saw him win a regular place on the left side of midfield.
Upon Paul Power's departure for Everton in 1986 Wilson reverted to the number three shirt for the 1986/87 first division campaign.
Chelsea
After City's relegation Wilson signed for Chelsea before moving on to Queens Park Rangers in 1990.
Queens Park Rangers
Wilson made his QPR debut against Nottingham Forest in a 1-1 draw at the City Ground in August 1990. He was signed as a midfielder for QPR but the following season the new QPR boss, Gerry Francis, switched him to play left-back. It was here that Wilson truly found his position as his speed allied to his excellent passing ability made him an excellent defender. Over the next four seasons he was a near ever-present for Rangers and he went on to play 172 league games for the R's, scoring 12 goals, all bar one scored from the penalty spot.
Tottenham Hotspur
In the summer of 1995 he was allowed to leave on a free transfer and he joined Tottenham Hotspur (signed by his old QPR boss Gerry Francis) where he continued to give another four seasons excellent service and formed a rock solid (?) defensive unit alongside the likes of Stuart Nethercott, Justin Edinburgh and Gary Mabbutt. He scored once in the league for Tottenham against Leicester City in September 1996, and once in the FA Cup against Wolverhampton Wanderers in January 1996. He made just one appearance in his final season at Spurs (1998-99), against Liverpool in the League Cup.
Cambridge United
He left Spurs in 1999 and played one more season for Cambridge United, ensuring their survival in Division Two a season after promotion, before retiring.
