John Stuart Wilson (22 January 1932 – 2 July 2012) was an English-born Scottish first-class cricketer.
Wilson was born in January 1932 at Middleton, Lancashire. He moved to Scotland as a child, where he was educated at Brechin High School. A club cricketer for both Brechin and Forfarshire Cricket Club's,[1] he made his debut for Scotland in first-class cricket against Lancashire at Old Trafford during Scotland's 1957 tour of England. He was a regular member of the Scottish team in the late 1950s and early 1960s, making sixteen first-class appearances to 1964.[2] Playing in the Scottish side as a right-arm fast-medium bowler, he took 44 wickets in his sixteen matches at an average of 25.20;[3] he took one five wicket haul, with figures of 5 for 51 against the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1959.[4] 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.[1] As a tailend batsman, he scored 66 runs at a low batting average of 5.07.[5] Outside of cricket, Wilson was by profession a plumber. He died at Perth in July 2012.[1]
