Ray Wilkins poorly

[Champ]

Stop you in your tracks stuff

[Harry Squatter]

Sad news and 61 is too young to die. Always makes you wonder about your own health and how fragile life can be, especially as he was a former athlete and would have been active when he was a coach.

[Josef Svejk]

Sad news. He seemed a decent fellow, booze issues notwithstanding...

True enough but he was a chronic alky with 3 drink driving convictions to prove it.

 

Hadn't he also been out on the piss with that other massive whopper Alan Brazil earlier that same day too? [shrugs]

[Gym Beglin]

That’s a shock Clive.

[magicrat]

Strangely moved by this news although expected it from the medical reports, Never really a great fan but I suppose the battles with his demons made him more human than his peers ; and more likeable, Gary Speed was another although in quite different circumstances .

RIP Butch ,you were quite a remarkable player. 

[M_B]

Very sad. RIP that man.

[s(k)aturation]

Booze or no, he leaves behind loved ones and fans who loved him.

 

I remember him fondly as a player in a cool team from London in the late 70s, when I was growing up supporting the best team in the world.

 

61, ridiculously young in this day and age.

 

Sad. Bit tragic. 

 

RIP, Ray.

hope he makes a full recovery.

 

Negged for 'poorly', nonce speak that.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

RIP. May he tango peacefully into the night.

[Redder Lurtz]

Sad news. Never disliked the bloke, always thought he was worth listening to. Rest in peace lad.

[Einch]

RIP

[ZonkoVille77]

RIP.

[Creator Supreme]

Not super Ralph, not smashing!

 

RIP

That tango ad was quality. Everyone at school copying it.

[Elite]

That tango ad was quality. Everyone at school copying it.

Probably caused more fights than a bare Knuckle promoter.

[Strontium]

Left a few kids deaf as I recall.

[suzy]

RIP Ray, very sad news.

Still married to the same woman as in his football days so this "crazy drunk" tag seems a bit off to me. If he was really bad he would have destroyed his marriage as so many do.

 

Gordan Strachan on Sky's "debate" now looks quite tearful.

I used to work with a guy who was a dead ringer for the Tango guy.  I was about the only one he'd let call him by that, he was about 16 stone and a rugby player.  The nicest guy you'd ever meet, but absolutely not one to be getting on the wrong side of.

 

RIP Butch Wilkins.

[Pidge]

Sad news. Never disliked the bloke, always thought he was worth listening to. Rest in peace lad.

 

This, all of it.  Terrible to see anyone pass away so suddenly.

[G Richards]

RIP. Sad to hear the news. 

[Tj hooker]

RIP seemed a decent lad , 61 is far to young

Classy from Wilkins there.

 

RIP "young man" . 61 is too young.
