Biography
Robert Wilson proved to be an elusive one-game wonder for Ballymena in the 1929/1930 season.
Little is known about Wilson’s footballing career leading up to his solitary game for the Braidmen. He is noted as having signed amateur forms as early as June 1929, but played most of his known football in the Intermediate League with North Belfast side Brantwood. His performances in the forward line had him mentioned for consideration for the Ireland Junior International side.
He was drafted in for a trial game with Ballymena in April 1930, starting at inside forward in a 2-0 City Cup defeat to Ards at Castlereagh Park. Noted as starting at inside-forward in place of Tom Kilpatrick the week after the Irish Cup final disappointment against Linfield, he endured an unremarkable debut and was even forced to switch positions after just twenty minutes.
That proved to be the start and end of Robert’s career in a Light Blue shirt and nothing more is known of his playing career after that afternoon in North Down or the rest of his life unfortunately.
