Ian Wilson (born March 27, 1958 in Aberdeen) is a former Scottish international football player and football manager.

[edit] Career

Among the clubs he played for were Leicester City, Everton and Beşiktaş.

His finest moment at Everton was after coming on as a substitute in the 1989 FA Cup Final in a 3-2 defeat to Liverpool. That summer, he signed for Istanbul giants Beşiktaş and in his only season there he won both the Turkish League Championship and the Turkish Cup.

In 1993, he became manager of Peterhead F.C. before leaving to join Nagoya Grampus Eight in Japan as assistant manager to his former Everton teammate Gordon Milne^[1]. He returned in 1995 before again leaving to join up with Milne, this time at Turkish club Beşiktaş J.K..

In June 2000 he began his third term as manager, and stayed until he was sacked in December 2003^[2].

Despite being linked with a number of Highland League jobs, he failed to make an immediate return to management.
