Carlos Wilson
Carlos Armando Wilson (born August 14, 1912 in Remedios de Escalada (Lanús) , Buenos Aires Province , † February 26, 1996 in Buenos Aires) was an Argentine national football player. He spent most of his career with CA Talleres in the 1930s . The defender also played for Boca Juniors and CA Lanús . With Argentina he finished second at the South American Championships of 1935 .
The right defender rose to the youth teams in the combat team of the CA Talleres from his home district Remedios de Escalada, where he made his debut in 1930 at the age of seventeen. CA Talleres was a founding member of the professional league Argentina de Football in 1931 , which initially had to do without sanctions from FIFA . Up to and including 1932 the goalkeeper Ángel Bossio stood between the posts at Talleres, who won Olympic silver with Argentina in 1928 and was runner-up in 1930.
In terms of sport, Talleres established himself in the lower table quarter. In 1934 the club entered into a syndicate with another traditional cellar child of the time, CA Lanús . The Unión Talleres-Lanús did not go better, was third from bottom already dissolved and year-end. El Tallarín himself managed only rarely a trip to the first half of the table during the eight years of play in the first division, the tenth place of 18 participants in 1935 was the highlight. Again, the point and goal difference were negative.
At the South American Championship in Peru in 1935 , Carlos Wilson played in all three games of the Argentine national soccer team , which won the first two games at the tournament and finished second after a 3-0 defeat in the last game against Uruguay.
The "platinum blonde" Wilson, described as "matter-of-fact" in his style of play, moved from Talleres to Boca Juniors in 1937, along with three other players - Talleres was to be relegated in 1938 and never to return to the top class.
In 1938 Carlos Wilson moved to CA Lanús for two years before he played for another two years from 1940 onwards for the now second division club CA Talleres. Later he played for FC Ferro Carril Sud , in Olavarría , also in the province of Buenos Aires.
