Ray Wilkins poorly

I remember him well as a player.

 

One thing I recall - weirdly -  was in a game for QPR at Anfield. It was probably the early 1990's. He was at the end of his career. He had a good game. He was old, but he knew how to run the midfield. He was substituted around the 75 minute mark. His legs couldn't last the full 90. He had played for Utd, so wasn't a popular visitor at Anfield and took a bit of stick during the game from the crowd.

 

As he left the field the atmosphere changed a touch, and he received a spontaneous standing ovation - it was like the collective conscience of the crowd recognised a decent servant to the game. It was a great thing to see.

I remember England playing a friendly game away in Argentina when Wilkins swore at the young ball boy, "Giz that fakkin ball".

 

I thought he was a fucking shite midfielder.

 

When I saw that he was trending I thought it must've been for another drink driving offence.

 

Probably been out on the piss with his fat cunt cunt chum Alan Brazil.

 

Yeh, get well soon Ray, nice fella.

I didn’t know about his drink driving convictions.

 

In that case, he was an average midfielder, played it sideways too much, played for two teams we hate, threw the ball away in a display of temper while representing his country, lost his hair and went on to look like Uncle Fester.

Not at your most magnanimous there, Rev... I think Butch Wilkins was still a notch below "sneering tit".

Are you saving forgiveness for tomorrow? 

 

On second thoughts, perhaps I should cast a stone too... it can be fun.
