Marcus Wilson (1932 – 22 March 2023) was an Irish Gaelic footballer and hurler. At club level, he played with St. Vincent's and was also a member of the Dublin senior teams as a dual player. [1]
Wilson first played Gaelic football and hurling as a schoolboy at St. Joseph's CBS in Fairview. His performances in the various schools' competitions earned his inclusion on the Leinsterurling team that won the All-Ireland colleges' title in 1949. Wilson subsequently joined the St. Vincent's club and won nine Dublin SFC titles and four Dublin SHC titles during a golden age for the club. [2]
Wilson first appeared on the inter-county scene as sub-goalkeeper on the Dublin minor football team that won the Leinster MFC title in 1949. He became a dual player at senior level and was a substitute on the Dublin senior hurling team that lost to Cork in the 1952 All-Ireland final, having earlier won a Leinster SHC title. Wilson later won three National League titles with the Dublin senior football team and was at full-back when Derry were beaten in the 1958 All-Ireland final. [3] [4]
One of four children born to Marcus Wilson, a veteran of the 1916 Easter Rising who later had a career in the Defence Forces, Wilson was educated at St. Joseph's CBS in Fairview. [5] He later became managing director of Heritage Tours Ltd.
Wilson died at St. Francis Hospice in Blanchardstown on 22 March 2023, at the age of 91. [6]
