RIP Ray

RIP Ray can't believe I was listening to him on talk sport last week before his heart attack just shocked condolences to his family and friends

[Wales-Bales]

I was hoping for a different outcome :frown:

One of the good guys.

RIP.

RIP

Saw him at Ninian in the 0-0 FA Cup Tie January 1990 (Roy Wegerle took stick all game - he'd jusy signed for them for a million quid). Anyway, Ray Wilkins legs weren't what they used to be so just sat in midfield spraying passes everywhere. He was class.

RIP Ray.

[J R Hartley]

RIP Ray

Always come across very well on the TV. A likeable cheeky chappy.

I was listening to him too, a week ago exactly I think. Always remember him saying you never know what’s around the corner. So sad.

RIP
Great Footballer and Great Attitude.

Some of the premiership "stars" could learn a lot from the way this man conducted himself.

RIP Butch

Always remember enjoying watching you play on MOTD in my younger days.

Enjoyed your comments and chat on TalkSport. You came across as intelligent, very articulate with a great love, a fantastic enthusiasm and an unbeatable knowledge of the game.

61 is far too young in this day and age

[long tom]

Another one goes. RIP

[Fatty Foggon]

RIP Butch. A gentleman and top footballer.

[NYCBlue]

Sad. I remember him coming through at Chelsea. I think he became captain when he was still a teenager.

[The Bloop]

One of my favourite players when I was a kid, even though only ever seemed to pass the ball sideways. Always came across as such a gentleman aswell.

I've always thought Michael Carrick was a fine player who was seriously underused by England, but, having seen the two of them play at their peak, I'd say Ray Wilkins was twice the player Carrick is/was. However, the best thing about Wilkins for me was that he could poke fun at himself.

RIP to a great footballer and a decent human being.

Anyone hear that feller who was homeless that Ray helped this morning on talk sport

What he say Jamo?

On a side note Warnock has requested a minutes applause tomorrow for Ray.

If you can find what Nigel quashie and joe Cole had to say about him it’s worth reading.
