T T Wilson was a professional footballer with Luton Town FC when he enlisted in the Footballers' Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment at Kingsway, London on 16th December 1914 with his Luton team mates Wileman, Roe, Frith, Dunn and Simms.
No further information about Wilson's military career could be found in records at the National Archives without his Regimental number or his forenames. He is listed in the definitive account of the Footballers' Battalion "When the Whistle Blows" by Riddoch and Kemp and in a report in the Luton News of 17th December 1914. He appears to have survived the war but did not return to play for Luton in 1919-20.
