Euclid "Clive" Aklana Wilson (born 13 November 1961, in Manchester) is an English retired footballer who played in midfield and at left-back. He played for many teams including Manchester City, Chelsea, QPR and Tottenham Hotspur. After his playing career ended, he became a P.E. teacher at Epping St Johns in Epping, Essex.
Wilson was a member of the Manchester City youth team which lost to Aston Villa in the 1980 FA Youth Cup Final. He made his first team debut in a League Cup tie against Stoke City in October 1981. After a productive spell on loan at Chester City produced more than 20 league appearances, Wilson's subsequent appearances were infrequent until the 1984/85 season which saw him win a regular place on the left side of midfield.
Upon Paul Power's departure for Everton in 1986 Wilson reverted to the number three shirt for the 1986/87 first division campaign.
After City's relegation Wilson signed for Chelsea before moving on to Queens Park Rangers in 1990.
Wilson made his QPR debut against Nottingham Forest in a 1-1 draw at the City Ground in August 1990. He was signed as a midfielder for QPR but the following season the new QPR boss, Gerry Francis, switched him to play left-back. It was here that Wilson truly found his position as his speed allied to his excellent passing ability made him an excellent defender. Over the next four seasons he was a near ever-present for Rangers and he went on to play 172 league games for the R's, scoring 12 goals, all bar one scored from the penalty spot.
