RIP Ray. As others have said a gentleman and a sportsman.

Jack Grealish has tweeted about how Ray still occasionally rang him to offer advice and encouragement. A true measure of the man.

RIP Ray, I always thought he came across as one of footballs gentlemen. Captain of Chelsea at the age of 18, 84 caps for England and a football man through and through.

Never forget that goal he scored in the 83 FA Cup Final for Man United, great player and sounds like he was a proper gent as well.
