| Ray Wilson (born 8 September 1968 in Dumfries) is a Scottish rock musician, who got his start in the grunge band Stiltskin; they released one album and had a number one hit in the UK with the single "Inside".Genesis went on hiatus after one album, Calling All Stations, and a tour with Wilson.Wilson went on to record a solo project called "Cut_", which he has described as sounding the way the next Genesis album might have sounded had the band continued with him.The album Millionairhead was released under this name.In 2003 he released a solo album under his own name titled Change.Although Wilson would frequently perform Genesis songs as a solo artist following his departure from the band, he is now openly regretful for joining the band.Further, he described his dismissal from the band as " like death by silence" and thought it was handled improperly.The band Genesis was formed in 1967.Ray Wilson was born a year later in 1968.Ray has done is "Space Oddity" by David Bowie on the Cut_ album, Millionairhead and "Inside" (many many times) from Stiltskin (10 years after it became a hit) on the 2004 solo The Next Best Thing.This page was last modified 23:10, 24 December 2007.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.Senior club appearances and goals

Wilson became an apprentice railwayman on leaving school but was spotted playing amateur football by a scout at Huddersfield Town.The FA selection committee put him in the squad for the 1962 World Cup in Chile and Wilson played in all three group games and England's elimination in the quarter finals at the hands of Brazil.He tore a muscle in his first Everton game and missed out on most of that season, as well as a number of England caps.Their opponents were Sheffield Wednesday, who started the game as underdogs.Wilson was almost an immediate villain when the game started as he deflected a vicious volley from Wednesday's Jim McCalliog into the net after just four minutes, though McCalliog rightly claimed the goal as his own.Ramsey's England got through a World Cup group consisting of Uruguay, Mexico and France; a volatile quarter final against a violent Argentina and a semi final against the enigmatic Portuguese, which was Wilson's 50th appearance for his country.The final against West Germany is part of football folklore, both in England and globally.FA Cup final earlier that year, when Everton lost to West Bromwich Albion.Leeds United full back Terry Cooper (who would be as impressive in the 1970 World Cup as Wilson was in 1966, despite England's elimination in the last eight), ended Wilson's England career and began a sharp decline in his fortunes at Everton too.He battled back to fitness but his pace had gone and he was granted a free transfer to Oldham Athletic in 1969, just missing out on Everton's jubilant march to the First Division title in 1970.English football's greatest day had never been officially recognised.The other six, plus Ramsey, had already received various gongs.Wilson, now in his seventies, retired as an undertaker in 1997 and lives quietly in Halifax.This page was last modified 18:57, 9 January 2008.Cut_ Millionairhead UK Edition 2007
