He was one of the forward-thinking businessmen contacted by Lamar Hunt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamar_Hunt), when Hunt formed the American Football League (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Football_League). Wilson was a pillar of the league, fielding the only AFL team that went to postseason play for four consecutive years, 1963-1966. The Buffalo Bills (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bills) won the league championship in 1964 and 1965.
