He was in the English 1986 World Cup squad. They had a top team and many thought they should have won the tournament. Wilkins was a good player, and one of my favorite players of all time, Gary Lineker, was in the team too. They had a top team.

Wow - only 61 -
Ray Wilkins was a "genuinely lovely man" who was "liked by everybody", says former England striker Gary Lineker.
He was a real pleasant Guy
RIP Ray Wilkins
RIP Ray Wilkins
I was shocked by this. 61 is no age, these days.
A very under-rated player within his own era and a better coach than he often got credit for, he also seems to have been genuinely universally liked. A rarity indeed.
RIP, Ray.

Funny how with some people there doesn't need to be an affiliation with your team to appreciate someone. Butch was mostly Chelsea and Manchester United, I support Everton, I don't know anyone who would have disliked him. When you heard him talk about football you could hear his passion for the game resonate. A true gent who told it like it was, even if that meant admitting his teams had failed.
It was a sad day for football when ray died.

...and I can think of no higher honor than to be respected by not only your own club, but the rivals as well...
