Robert Wilson (Scottish footballer)
Robert Wilson was a Scottish footballer who played for Partick Thistle, mainly as a right half.[1][2] He featured prominently for the Jags for four seasons, making 116 appearances in all competitions[3] including the Glasgow Cup final of 1911,[4] but very little is noted of any career thereafter – it was suggested[3] that he joined Chelsea in 1913, but there is no record of him playing for the West London club in any official competitions.
