The house is famously known as the ‘Football House’ in the area. A great lover of the game and an international player, Wilson has his figure carved on the main door. The two-storey house has been designed with footballs on the gate, walls, windows, stairs, clock, water tank, balcony grill and other places. The replica of a football, measuring six feet and made of iron grills, decorates the gate of this house.

The house, with various pictures and posters of football players, a collection of trophies, his photographs and mementoes, shows his love for the game. Wilson, 37, has represented India in the Bristol Freedom Cup in 1998.

He serves as the coach of Asian Football Confederation and Roots Football Academy.
