"I'd like to be known has someone who could keep the ball"

RIP Butch.

[The Moose]

RIP Ray. Born two days after me, gone far too soon.

[Hookeysmith]

Lucky to have spoke with him a few times. Always had time for anyone who wanted to speak to him. As others have said a real gentleman that a lot of the modern players could have done a lot worse to have learned from.
Sad loss to the world of football
Rip "Butch"

[TopDeck113]

RIP - but, please, the nickname "Butch" makes me cringe as much today as it did in circa 1978.

[JD]

RIP. A very good footballer and a thoroughly decent guy.

It made Ray Wilkins cringe as well, he hated it.

[Oscar Arce]

RIP Ray, a very decent guy and football man.
Did well for us too, a thoroughly likeable individual and a tidy player too, gone way too soon.

Hopefully this link to a video on Facebook will work (for those of you on it!) - not sure how else to link the content but if someone more tech minded can, that'd be great.

It's a caller to TalkSport who for a time was homeless and is recounting Ray Wilkins taking the time to go over to him and sit and chat to him, and the effect he had on him. A really nice story and by all accounts a really decent bloke.

I heard it as it was broadcast and I was getting a bit tearful too.

Nice interview with John Terry too about how Ray Wilkins always made the youngsters feel special by showing them the same respect he did to the senior pros.

[steamer]

I always saw him as one of lives nice guys.
Like everyone had his challenges, but as a "face" his became public.
The story about the homeless guy is humbling.
Same age as me, with his fitness Vs mine, time to take stock.

Me too. Very dusty in here.

[Sexual Ealing]

Fucking hell. That's amazing.

[Toronto Villa]

Blimey. It’s always, always the little things that make the biggest difference. Ray could have walked by like millions have. I know I have. But that one conversation from someone he recognized meant so much to this fella. Good for him for getting his life back in order. Another reason why Ray Wilkins will be missed.
