[Football] RIP Ray Wilkins

[TottonSeagull]

RIP Ray. Always came across as a good bloke. Taken far too young!

 

[Weststander]

What a shame, always a very likeable and interesting guy.

RIP Ray.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Given his health issues I had a worry this would happen soon. RIP

Very sad and shocking news, but not entirely surprising given his self-confessed alcoholism. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...aller-ray-wilkins-sentenced-for-drink-driving

RIP Butch.

Why bring that up right now, a matter of hours after he's died and barely over an hour since his death has been announced.
Show some respect and dignity.

RIP Ray

RIP. Thoughts go out to his family.

(didn't he play in that legendary 4-4 Leyton Orient match?)

I don't think PG was being disrespectful with his comments. Just stating a fact. You can express condolences but also acknowledge the air of inevitability about it all.

It often gets forgotten that one of the 3 goals he scored for England in his 84 appearances was one of the best England goals ever. RIP.

RIP the crab. Remember him starring for Orient in a 4-4. Including scrapping with an intruder. Legend

I'd never seen that goal. I agree, not seen many better England goals than that. Gazza's 96 goal is the only one that springs to mind that you could compare.

Such sad news. As most have said a real gentleman of the game and a superb player. RIP Butch

I saw Ray Wilkins with Shilton/Case/Lawrenson at the Theatre Royal in Brighton talking about all things football just a few days ago (19th March) and he looked in fine health. Totally shocked by this. It was an excellent evening with Wilkings telling many great stories about his time at Chelsea/AC Milan/England etc. RIP x
