Wilson Wood (Whitburn, West Lothian)
(25.01.1942 - 11.06.2017)
From Wikipedia
A former lab assistant with the National Coal Board, Wood started his professional career with Newcastle United whom he joined from Shotts Bon Accord aged 17. He spent only one year on Tyneside and left the club without making an appearance, returning to Scotland to join Rangers. He spent seven seasons at Ibrox, where he won his only senior medal as a member of Rangers victorious 1964-65 League Cup side. Wood moved to Dundee United in 1967 and he featured regularly during his three years at Tannadice. However, in 1970 a contract dispute with United manager Jerry Kerr led to his departure to boyhood favourites Hearts, in exchange for Tommy Traynor. He spent three injury-plagued years with the Jambos before a final two years with Raith Rovers. His transfer to the Kirkcaldy side was the subject of controversy, with Hamilton Accies also claiming to have signed him.
Since his retirement Wood has worked as a physiotherapist.
Wilson Wood was a modest and unassuming man who in his role as an accordion teacher turned out a string of champions. Jennifer Forrest, Graham Edwardson and David Wilson who went on to form and broadcast with The Oakbank Sound, Ian and Craig Skinner and Diane Armstrong were just some of his pupils who competed very successfully for a number of years. His last pupil of prominence was Emma Dickson, younger daughter of teacher Keith Dickson of Dolphinton, and the very fact the Keith sent Emma to Wilson for lessons in itself speaks volumes about Wilson's abilities in that role.
