A further performance of note with the ball came in 1962 against Ireland, when his four wickets in each innings helped guide Scotland to a 5 wicket victory. As a tailend batsman, he scored 66 runs at a low batting average of 5.07. Outside of cricket, Wilson was by profession a plumber. He died at Perth in July 2012.
