Michael Wilson (footballer)
Michael Wilson (born
November 21,
1976) is an
Australian rules footballer for the
Port Adelaide Football Club.
He began his career as part of
Port Adelaide's inaugural 1997 squad that entered the
AFL. Playing as a medium-sized defender, he immediately made an impression and took out the
AFL Rising Star award for the best young prospect.
Wilson suffered many injuries during his career, including both shoulders, but he overcame that with a solid season in 2004 when he was also a part of
Port Adelaide's first ever premiership in the AFL.
