George Williamson Wilson (8 September 1883 – 31 May 1960) was a Scottish professional footballer, who spent the greatest part of his career with Newcastle United and also played for Heart of Midlothian and Everton.
An economic restructuring in 1905 revitalised the club though, and Wilson was a regular in the side[3] as Hearts finished 2nd in the league and won the Scottish Cup in 1905–06 – he scored the winning goal in the final against holders Third Lanark, a tap-in in the 81st minute after a Bobby Walker shot had been blocked.
[5] Wilson moved south to England at that season's conclusion, sold to Everton[6] in a £725 joint deal alongside his brother David.
[11] After a short spell with Irish side Distillery whilst still registered as an Everton player, Wilson joined Newcastle United for £1,600 in November 1907,[9] a then record transfer fee.
Playing on the left wing, he made 218 appearances and scored 33 goals for the Magpies,[12] helping them to the English League title in the 1908–09 season and the FA Cup in 1910.
