Thomas Wilson Football Club
(est. 1969)
The Thomas Wilson is proud to announce that it is now an official FA Charter Standard Club.
Updated - 10 March 2010
Our problems this season might just be summed up by a conversation during Tuesday night football. When a complaint about a lack of movement was voiced, Bri Ellison piped up about how he was moving as " I am standing right here!". Not really moving then...
Washington Steps 5 - 0 TWFC
Washington Steps cruised to an easy victory over a disappointing Thomas Wilson side. There was a minutes silence before the game for two former Wilson players, Mickey Barker and Mark Brown, who have died recently. In the first half the match could have been over but for some poor finishing from the home side, who eventually broke the deadlock on 37 minutes, to take a one goal lead into the break.
The second half was one way traffic with defensive errors, combined with some slick passing allowing The Steps to carve open the visitors time after time. Despite some poor finishing again, Steps still managed to rattle in another four unanswered goals in the second half to run out 5-0 winners.
Overall, a very poor performance, against a side we beat 4-0 earlier in the season. In the end we had to laugh as Setf Lewandowski came on for Degsy and immediately had to change his shirt as he hadn't noticed he was wearing green - the same as Steps. Didn't make a differance as the first thing he did was pick the ball out of the net as the barman fromUsworth Top Club scored.
FREE THE WILSON ONE
Stu Bowman manages to evade the long arm of the law. This time.
The incident that is not really very clearly described below has now finally reached a conclusion, and so its back to normal.

Once again the Wilson and the Corpy Club had an exciting contest which finished earlier than expected. A lot of incidents allegedly took place, so can't really say much except good goals from Jack Morris, Brett Hogan and Rob Boyle meant we were leading 4-3 before things went pear shaped.
The Wilson listened intently to Scotty during the half time team talk...

Highway Robbery
Washington Highwayman 2 - 0 Thomas Wilson
The Thomas Wilson were the architects of their own downfall against Washington Highwayman. Early chances were spurned, first when Brett Hogan had a shot cleared off the line, then Matty Baldwin, making his first start for the team, fired over the crossbar from 3 yards. Mark Croan was then tripped in the box, but Hogan’s weak penalty was easily saved. Highwayman took the lead before half time as the Wilson failed to clear and a shot took a bit of a deflection to nestle in the roof of the net. To confound it all, Jason Scott’s sliding challenge was deemed to be a straight red card in the last minute of the half, when a yellow would surely have sufficed.
As the heavy pitch deteriorated in the second half both sides struggled to make any worthwhile chances, although Ellison came close with a shot across the face of the goal, before Highwayman doubled their lead, a ball in from the right wing which flew over Hanvey and into the far corner. Ten-man Wilson never gave up, but in the dying seconds it was the home side who came closest to scoring, crashing an effort against the crossbar, but the game finished 2-0 to the Washington side.
It's all gone Pear (tree) shaped
The Thomas Wilson’s recent good run came to an end under the leaden skies of wintery Wrekenton against The Peartree. It took the visitors only 7 minutes to take the lead with a 25 yard freekick, which took a slight deflection off the wall and beat the returning Hanvey in goal. The Wilson were level before half time though, when Jason Scott’s corner found Bullethead Brian Ellison unmarked and he nodded home from three yards. Ellison, who normally manages one goal a season, now sits proudly as joint top scorer for The Wilson this season.
 Bulletheed was chuffed
The second half began the same as the first, with The Peartree scoring early, a neat volleyed finish from 12 yards. The Wilson huffed and puffed but as the pitch deteriorated, both teams found it difficult to make any chances. The Peartree were reduced to ten minute with a few minutes remaining, but held on to win 2-1.
Bri was also a bit miffed that Croany's news bit from last week was in big writing, so look down the page to see that I have rectified this!! Also note the pic of Alice the Goon from Popeye as requested - very simlar to our own Goon, Gary Connelly!!!
League Round up 6 Dec in NEWS section
Wilson Travel Well
The Travellers Rest and Thomas Wilson shared six goals in a rainy wind-swept game at Wrekenton. The Travellers took the lead after only 5 minutes, with a free header from a left wing corner. Before half time it was 2-0 when Travellers’ keeper Barrett’s long kick was misjudged by Jason Scott, and a low cross shot from the right side of the penalty area slipped under the body of stand-in keeper Michael Henderson.
In the second half The Wilson made a fight back, and when Flyin’ Brian Ellison was tripped in the box, Bert Hogan made no mistake with the penalty. The joy was short lived however, when Scott again erred a minute later and was duly punished to restore the home side’s two goal advantage. The Wilson didn’t give up though and with ten minutes remaining Ellison powered home a header, and within 60 seconds Jack Morris’s seemingly harmless cross from the left was inexplicably fumbled into his own net by Barrett to earn the visitors a point with a 3-3 draw, though they needed to thank Henderson for a brave block in the dying seconds to prevent a Travellers winner.
Wardley Tramps Sent Packing
TWFC 1- 0 Wardley
The Thomas Wilson managed to grind out a victory against a Wardley team which put 7 past them earlier in the season. In a game constantly interrupted by niggley fouls and yellow cards, The Wilson took the lead mid-way through the first half. Goon Connelly played the ball down the right and Liam Robson’s cross shot took a deflection before nestling in the Wardley net.
The home side were reduced to ten men in the first minute of the second half when Brian Ellison received a second yellow card for a Claude Makelele big tackle. Despite pressure from Wardley, the Wilson back four of Connelly, Donnelly, Boyle and Scott (a firm of solicitors?) worked hard to protect Brigham in goal, and limited the visitors to long range efforts. It was ten men each on 75 minutes when habitual offender “Nobheed” was sent off for the second week running. Despite almost ten minutes of stoppage time, Wardley could not make the breakthrough and the Wilson held on for all three points.
Overall an excellent performance by a team short on numbers this week. The back four communicated, the whole team worked hard for each other, and we got the little bit of luck that has been missing most of the season. Now we need to build on this good result and put together a run. The Gaffa would like to go unbeaten for the rest of the year - an achievable task if we work as hard and as well as we did on Sunday.
DEFEAT FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY
Thomas Wilson 2 - 5 Travellers Rest
The Travellers Rest staged a great comeback against the Thomas Wilson club, in a game played in high winds at Wrekenton. The Wilson took the lead after 17 minutes following a foul on Benson Dixon in the centre circle. Mickey Henderson floated the free kick into the box, and the smallest player on the field, Liam Robson rose and looped a header over the Travellers’ keeper. Within a minute the Travellers had a great chance to equalise put the attempt on goal was dragged wide. On 25 minutes it was 2-0 when Dixon fed Robson down the right and he cut inside and fired in a cross/shot which drifted into the far corner of the net. The two goal lead didn’t last long though, as Brian Ellison was judged to have fouled in the box, and Hanvey in goal had no chance as the penalty was expertly converted.
After 34 minutes it was all square as Henderson was this time adjudged to have fouled in the box, and the penalty was despatched to the same corner as the first. The Wilson came back though, and when Jack Morris saw his shot crash against the post, Robson was unable to put the rebound into the gaping net. Chris Brigham, forced to play outfield instead of goalkeeper, then had a chance just before half time, which was saved by the feet of the Travellers keeper.
In the second half The Wilson began to fade, and a ball crossed from the right wing was tucked away at the back post to put the Travellers ahead for the first time. On 70 minutes a poor kick from Hanvey was played back into the danger area and finished neatly to make it 4-2. The game was over on 75 minutes when a long ball caught out the Wilson back four and the visiting striker was left with the simple task of rounding Hanvey and putting the ball in the empty to complete the scoring at 5-2.
The Wilson stuggled to get a team out this week with only two subs, one of them Fat Stef, available at kick off. Steve Coates arrived in the second half, but once again the inability to field a settled team is causing problems. Missing this week for various reasons (some known, some not) were Hightower, Broony, Brett, Matty Jordan, Neil Copeland, Minimin, Liam Pearson, Beefdip, Rob Pringle, Gooner, Paul Jama, Grant, Hutch and the still suspended Stu Bowman. It should also be noted that we have the worst defensive record in the league, averaging well over four goals a game conceded, and our three wins to date have been against the three teams below us.
On a plus note we saw the return of Jack Morris and Also Dave Dixon back from Kenya where he has been putting the natives firmly in their place with his cannon-fodder buddies. As usual he has some stories about his own stupidity, and it's amazing what you can get off the local girls if you have a bottle of Mr Sheen and an afro comb going spare!
"Are you coming back to my hut, Meester Deekson?"
ALL'S NOT WELL AT SALTWELL
Saltwell 5 - 3 Thomas Wilson
In a game that ebbed and flowed like a fiddlers arm, the Saltwell Club gained all three points in an eight goal thriller with The Thomas Wilson Club. The Wilson took the lead when Gary Brown despatched a penalty to notch his first goal for the club, after five Wilson players had missed spot kicks already this season. The Saltwell, however hit back and roared into a 3-1 lead before Paul Donnelly struck back making it 3-2. The Saltwell soon restored their two goal advantage though and looked to be cruising. Hightower Donnelly had other plans though, and after good work by Robson, Donnelly’s header made it 4-3. The Wilson pushed again, but once more it was the Saltwell’s turn to score and make it 5-3. Despite chances at both ends and one effort striking The Wilson’s post, there were no more goals and The Saltwell continued to move up the league.

WE WIN!!!!
After several failed attempts to win, and a complete lack of clean sheets this season, The Wilson beat struggling Washington Steps 4 - 0 at The Mossheaps. Goals from Pat Burns, Rudi Nellis, Brett Hogan and a Bri Ellison header (honest) saw us cruise to victory. Brett still had time to continue our awful run of penalty taking with (I think) the 6th spot-kick miss of the season!! This was also without doubt the worst!!!
Nice to see Alan Hogan still has a way with the ladies!!
A goal by Skippa Coates earned The Wilson a point against a side that had put 9 past us earlier in the season. A disputed goal from a free kick where a Villa striker stood in an offside position in front of Degs in goal,but was classed as not interfering stopped us picking up all 3 points. Dixon missed a great chance near the end. On the sideline this week was Rocky Bowman following last weeks barney.
 Stu Bowman's plastic surgeon had a lot to answer for!
NO REST FOR TRAVELLORS
The Wilson completed a league double over perenial foes Travellors Rest. A single headed goal from Danio Clarke did the business, and a sending off of a Travellors player certainly helped.
Since there has not been much footy recently, here are some pictures of Brett!

Brigham swaps position and hair.
Chris Brigham has recently undergone a new haircut, and has also decided this warrants a new football position. Picture below is the transformation where Brig goes from first choice keeper to unused substitute.

Old Boys turn back the years
The old Chowdene Saturdau morning team of the mid 90's will be out in force this weekend at The Moss Heaps Wrekenton to play their current day counterparts, St Peter's in a friendly game. The match kicks off at 10.30.
Why not come and have a look. Many current and ex Wilson players will be involved, including Bazza and Tony Hindmarch, Aid Rudd, John Kelly, Phil McVay, Steve Kelly, Kevin Wake and many more former heroes!!
UPDATE - The 'A' team (dark blue) played the first half and scored 4 (2 by Bazz Hindmarch, 2 by John Kelly), but had 3 disallowed by ref Bob Irish, only Bazz's first strike counting, so the half time score was 1-1. In the second half the 'B' team in light blue played and lost 4-1 (Den Hewett scoring) so the final result was 5-2 to the current St Peters team.
Bazz (14) puts ball, keeper and all into the net, for the one that counted!

A Bit of Wilson history.....
In the beginning, The Thomas Wilson was formed, and in the 70's was one of the more successful clubs, winning titles and cups. In the late 80's the club died off a bit and by 1991 was on the verge of folding. That's when the secretary of the club, Charlie Henderson approach The Beaconsfield team and asked them to take over The Wilson and keep it going. Players such as Barry and Tony Hindmarch, Lar Outterside, Mick Mason and Daniel Walker came to be joined by new player like Kevin Wake and Alan Nobbs to form the modern day Thomas Wilson FC.
Last weekend a re-union of the old Beac team was arranged, and the old boys played a game in Cramlington against a pub team, The Travellors. Despite being 2-0 and 3-2 down, The old men managed a creditable 3-3 draw against their younger opposition. With an average age of 41 years 4 months (Gav Blair oldest at 45, Bazz Hindmarch youngest at 37) the lads showed they've still got it. Mick Mason with his first (probably) ever goal for the club and 2 from Bazz Hindmarch (1 pen) were the scorers.
Back L to R - Steve Jackson, Mickey Eckstein, Ian Charlton, Paul Moncur, Barry Hindmarch, Lar Outterside
