Danny Wilson is recognised by those who saw him as one of the finest half-backs Wales has ever produced and one of the best to who have ever pulled on a Swinton jersey, which is the club where he made his name in rugby league, scoring 59 tries, 10 goals and 38 drop-goals (five of them in one game). Born in Wales to a Welsh mother and a Sierra Leonean father, Wilson played for Cardiff RFC as a fly-half before moving north to turn professional with Widnes. He had two sons, one of them being Ryan Giggs (who changed his name from Wilson as a teenager after his parents' divorce) the future Manchester United and Wales football international.
