in a critical condition after suffering a heart attack aged 61
Very shocked by this news, he's a regular pundit on talksport and always a good listen. One of the big upcoming stars when I first got into football, saw him play at Meadow Lane for Manchester United.
Ray Wilkins has had his well-publicised problems in recent times, but whenever I've heard him as a pundit or just as himself he always comes across as an absolute gentleman. And he was a quality footballer. Best wishes to him.
I remember seeing him play for Chelsea at Notts. He did a few times back in the 70s and they tend to merge into one game in your memory but he was superb and led a comeback almost single handedly ... probably our 2-1 home win in Feb 77 when he scored. Chelsea weren't much better than Notts back then and he was the captain at 18 years old, and by far their best player.
Old butch Wilkins
A few years back I used to see him regular on Esher high street
Good fella and always had time to chat
Has died today, sadly.
Sad news R I P
Great player and Pundit R.I.P. Butch you will be sadly missed.
