Robert "Bob" Primrose Wilson (born October 30, 1941 in Chesterfield, England) was a goalkeeper for Arsenal F.C. of the Football League from 1963 to 1974.
Wilson started late as a professional player as his father would not let him sign papers with Manchester United F.C. as he thought it wasn't a reasonable job while he was a youth and he then went on to Loughborough College for training as a teacher before signing for Arsenal in 1963.
Wilson was goalkeeping coach for Arsenal during the period Pat Jennings, John Lukic, and David Seaman were goalkeepers.
BobWilson by all rights should have played in the 1968 European Cup Final, for Manchester United, but for his Dad's decision not to let him join the club as a schoolboy.
Bob had always done bits and pieces for the BBC and there was an unwritten contract about his working for them after he retired.
BobWilson's career as a player and commentator has spun over 20 years and in that time he has seen many changes." There is far better training and physical preparation and the fitness and speed of the players is far greater than any period from the 30's to the '60s."
