Following Lithgow Workmen's Club's penalty shoot-out win against Abercrombie in the Bathurst District Football men's premier league grand final last September, Wilds announced his retirement from football refereeing.
His career spanned 904 games, including countless grand finals across all grades of Bathurst District Football competitions, including 13 in first grade.
And while he has announced his retirement from whistle-blowing in football, there are a few people hoping that he might do a John Farnham and referee locally again.
Bathurst Football Referees Association president Greg Auhl said Wilds has been a fantastic servant to the game.
"Tony's been fantastic. He's been the number one, not just in Bathurst, but I'd argue the Central West for as long as I've been involved," he said.
"Tony's a really, really good - and I think it's because of his experience with the cricket - referee coach. He's worked a lot with our young guys in the past.
"He's the one who dragged me onto the [Bathurst Football Referees Association] committee in the first place back in 2007. He left [the committee] and had to pursue his own things but he's been a fantastic servant, not just in that refereeing but for coaching too.
"He's brought a number of junior referees through the ranks. He'll take good young referees, put them on his line and talk to them at half-time and after the games.
"When I first did the course, he did the same with me. I was only an adult referee, but I learnt as much as doing men's first and seconds lines with Tony coaching me at half-time and full-time from just about anything else."
Auhl also praised Wilds' commitment to helping out across the region, not just in Bathurst.
"I can't speak highly enough of his contribution as a soccer referee, not just in the local competition but wider," he said.
"He's done a lot of the state league games. When we've been asked to provide referees for grand finals in other towns like Orange, he's the first one to say, 'Yep, I'll go do it'.
"He was also president of the committee for a number of years and has had a number of different positions on the committee. He's a good committee man, a good referee, he understands refereeing and the pressure that referees are under."
Bathurst District Football made a post on its Facebook page about Wilds' retirement last September and in the comments, its evident the respect he has from the local football community.
And while Wilds may be a well respected football referee in Bathurst, he's also an extremely successful cricket umpire and has umpired nine Big Bash League matches this season.
Wilds made his centre wicket debut at a domestic level during six years ago, in the Matador Cup.
