James Thompson Wilson (better known as Tug or Jimmy Wilson, 15 March 1924 – 16 January 1987) was an English footballer. He was capable of playing as either a half back or a forward.

His father, Andy Wilson, played for Middlesbrough and Chelsea in the 1920s and 1930s, and was a Scottish international.[1]

Although born in Middlesbrough, Wilson started his career in London, as an amateur at Fulham. He later played for Gravesend & Northfleet, Chelsea and Leeds United, before joining Watford in December 1950. Although largely a reserve at Vicarage Road, Wilson amassed 51 starts in all competitions over his seven years at the club, before joining Southend United for the 1957–58 season.[2][3]

He died on 16 January 1987 in London, aged 62.[3]
