Many, many years ago, I stopped to let Ray cross the road in Wimbledon High St. I shouted a “Hello Ray” out of the window, he smiled and gave me a thumbs up. I’m not a football fan, but it was nice to know that someone of his stature actually took the time to be nice and polite, and friendly. Many stars don’t. Thanks Ray. RIP 🙏🏼
Saw butch playing in Glasgow for rangers... What a wonderful footballer and human being he was. R. I. P Ray.
Forest fan here... Absolute respect for this man. I saw him in the 80's for both ManU, Qpr and england.
Class act
Loved the man, the day he died an ex squaddie who was homeless tells everyone how Ray saved his life, its on you tube, when I heard it that day it may me cry. Paul Bristol City Supporter 51 years old. RIP Ray hope Gianluca has met up with you.
Yeah Paul, I heard that interview as well and I,m not ashamed to say the tears were streaming down my face.
I was Ray’s postman for a while in the mid 2000’s in Cobham. I support Arsenal, no fan of Chelsea, which he knew, but we always enjoyed a laugh and chat. Nice guy.
As a Chelsea fan use to see him a lot around the ground very very nice guy to talk to.Much missed. Thanks paul for this.
Very welcome
@@UnusualThings1 This year, we'd like to see Michael Bentine (1922-1996)'s grave. Thanks in advance mate.
I watched Ray Wilkins during his 2 wonderful years in Glasgow with Rangers. Top class footballer and a gentleman, sadly missed.
Had the pleasure of watching this legend play for Glasgow Rangers sadly missed RIP RAY 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
From an era when football was good. Lovely memorial for him. Thank you Paul.
I remember meeting Ray once whilst he was at QPR, such a lovely down to earth man, a real pleasure to talk to
Ray Wilkins played for some massive clubs and his talent is obvious, but it's his character which made him stand out. He was a gentleman. Despite his heart belonging to Chelsea he always spoke so well about his time with Manchester United, Rangers and other clubs. A great player, but an even better bloke. RIP Ray. GGMU. WATP.
Such an elegant footballer and..... more importantly, a kind and decent man. Bless you Butch.
Ray Wilkins was a class act. Great player and as a Manchester united fan I'm proud he played for us. Proper gentleman.
Hi I remember school teacher who took us for art would talk of her Brother called Ray at that time I'm going back 56 years ago the lady was known as Miss Wilkins shr taught Art in Ballynahinch Secondary school then today it is known as Ballynahinch High School in Northern Ireland
Had the pleasure of watching him at Ibrox … yes He played with GLASGOW RANGERS too Rip Butch 🙏🏼
As a former Rangers season ticket holder, I have fond memories of his footballing prowess. RIP!
I am a Celtic fan ,he was brilliant when I saw him against us ,lots of respect ray taken too soon
I had the pleasure of meeting Ray at Foxhills golf course what gentlemen and lovely man RIP
A lovely respectful tribute to a great player... thank you!
This hits home because Ray was born the same year as me. He achieved a lot in the years he had & was a true gentleman on & off the pitch. RIP Ray.
At Glasgow rangers he was a superb player, but more importantly an absolute gentleman !!!
A great player & a true gent. Sadly missed. An excellent pundit too. From a Spurs fan. RIP Ray.
Am a England fan and a lovely memorial plaque and a Xmas tree too!!! Rest in peace Ray wilkins!!! 👼🙏
Fantastic Footballer, even better person. Chelsea legend. Massive loss to football and the world. RIP Ray Wilkins 💙
I'm irish my brother and friend meet Ray at villa match they were at ,they asked him for his autograph I remember my brother saying how unreal and nice he was I always loved Ray ,rest in peace Ray, gone too soon.
There is where my mother, father and brother are buried. Also buried there is the friend of John Lennon's son - Lucy - the inspiration for "Lucy in the sky of diamonds" and also the girl who named the planet "pluto", also the basis for the Disney character - "Pluto". Another great video Paul, thank you!
Deepest respeckt to a great player. Fantastic teamplayer.
Love from Leeds United supporter NORWAY 🇧🇻🇬🇧
Was my idol as a teenager taking over from Ossie and Charlie Cook. Was so upset when he left for Man Utd. Used to see him round the ground too, most of the players were local to the club then. Always had a smile. Great tribute Paul. Sorely missed, probably having a glass of wine with Luca now.
I was working as a security steward at Ibrox Stadium when Ray played for us 💙
I can remember him playing for Chelsea and Manchester United. Younger viewers will be surprised to learn Chelsea were once relegated. Listening to your tribute, Ray Wilkins comes across as a thinking footballer, a bit like Glen Hoddle. His resting place is lovely and that's the least he deserves.
As a QPR season ticket holder of a ridiculous number of years I clearly remember Ray playing for us and also his time as our manager. After he died there was a big memorial outside Loftus Road with flowers, scarves and flags. RIP
Ray Wilkins played 17 games for Hibs at end of his career, he had a big impact on the young players, a true Legend ⚽️👍🙌
Spot on mate ggtth.
@@MrSilkykev 💚🤍⚽️
Raymond Wilkings another legendary footballer who left us to soon may he rest in peace 🕊️
Thanks paul I'm a big man United fan love this team but I do remember ray always a very gentle soft person always so nice wen he appeared on any interview so young taken rip ray 👍🙌👍💯🏐🏐🏆🏆⚽️⚽️⚽️
Thank you from AC Milan supporters❤️🖤 rip Ray🙏
Ray Wilkins lived down the road from me many moons ago.
Thanks for that, it brought a tear to my eye.
When I was a kid Butch was my hero playing for Chelsea in the old second division, he oozed class on the pitch, however it was surpassed by his class as a true gentleman.
I like to think that he is reunited in heaven with his great friend and fellow gentleman Gianluca.❤
Loved him he gave many years of service to Chelsea and I was saddened when he went to United. A great player for club and country a true gentlemen and Englishman.
RIP Ray gone but never forgotten.
What a footballer. I'd always liked him, he seemed a very nice person. I'd like to visit & pay my respects.
Loved Ray doing football italia in the 90s with the late great Peter Brackley on Channel 4
True gentleman and a fantastic player and human being.
Ray always came across as a really decent chap, humble, ego free; so likeable. He was also very passionate and knowledgeable about the game. I particularly enjoyed his punditry during Channel 4's coverage of Italian football and his appreciation of the great technical players. In his own parlance he was, 'my word, terrific, tremendous, smashing... an exceptional man'.
Ray was a fantastical player Paul. He could make the ball talk, if he had to. HaHaHa!!!!. His special skills included, making the ball bend when struck, he could put incredible spin on the ball. Whilst he didn't score a great deal of goals, he made many for his teammates. Take care Paul, thanks for your great descriptive videos.🌟
Sir Ray Wilkins .. Was A True Gentleman And A Governor On The Pitch...
I actually met Ray at Fratton Park in 2008 when he was part of the staff at Chelsea FC. Absolute gentleman and was great to have a photo with him. Chelsea legend 💙
Ray was my football dad, he was so relatable as a person. Just a nice man who happened to be amazing at football. I was so sad when i heard he died, it was so unexpected. He leaves an amazing legacy.
Nice tribute Paul, Gone too soon 💙RIP Ray Wilkins Classy on and off the Pitch 🙏⭐️
I remember watch Ray play for QPR against Spurs and as he came to take a corner us Spurs fans gave him loads of abuse ( football banter) and he just laughed and waved at us. We appreciated his spirit and just gave him a massive cheer and clap. A great man and great character
He had a awful game at Man U. Everything went sideways & he didn't play like that in his Chelsea days. He was so boring to watch at Man U. The Crab.
Ray was an absolute gentleman. A truly nice guy. A fantastic role-model for any footballer. 💙⚽
Ray Wilkins what a legend i didn't expect seeing this tonight cheers paul
How deeply moving and sad , I'm a loyal England 🏴🏴 fan I really loved him , what a great man he had time for everyone he ever met , in my eyes he was one of them special person's, that was a real gift to this country , he was taken far too young rest in eternal peace forever ray ( butch ) Wilkins you was a legend of the England Team and the world of the beautiful Game Sleep now you we'll be remembered forever ❤️🙏🙏🏴😔😔 Thank you Paul your dear friend always Rod x only the good die young 😭🙏💔

ONCE A RANGER ALWAYS A RANGER.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Butch Wilkins 1983.. OT.. fa cup v everton 6th Rd.. What a ball... Macari.. Stapleton.. Fairy - tale goal
Nice one Paul. Ray was a class act both as a player and as a person. Such a shame football has become so expensive.
I was lucky to meet and see ray out and about in west London a few times,
Always respectful and pure gent.
RIP RAY 🙏🏻
Ray Wilkins a great player! England international and what a terrific and World Class player for the one and only famous Glasgow Rangers! Gone but never ever forgotten a true Gentleman! ❤🧡💙😀👍🙋♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🥳🥳
What a fantastic video Paul, thank you for confirming Ray's final resting place.
We have updated his FindaGrave and added a link to this video on our Memorial Map entry for him.
Thank you, appreciate that 🙏
RIP RW -- a wonderful player & human that left us far too early!¡!
I watched Ray play for Rangers and for Hibernian a few times during the season he played in Edinburgh. I also saw him play in the 1985 Rous Cup match for England at Hampden against Scotland, which included some other quality English players: Robson and Hoddle. Not only a gifted player, a total gentleman and humanitarian. Respectful Paul 👍 RIP Ray 🙏🇬🇧
A lovely tribute to a great player and all-round good guy!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice tribute. He always came across so well.
Thank you very much!
I'll never forget the volley he rattled in against the Ceptic 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Good tribute to a great player . I have noticed over the years how many footballers die young . Is it heading the ball and also putting a strain on the body with training and playing games on a regular basis ? I have supported WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS since 1971 with a season ticket for many years . The game has changed over the years and players are very transient , back in the 1970's we had the same players for many years . RIP RAY .
Until I watched your video I had no idea Ray Wilkins died, and Glen Hoddle had a heart attack. Life is fleeting, but when we face up to reality of living, accepting the painful losses, losing love ones and close friends, throughout the years, and that fateful moment, when we face our own mortality, looking death in the eye, it’s like a bitter pill to swallow, but something we all have to accept, no matter how much we try running away from the inevitable. Happiness and sadness go hand in hand, like sunrise and sunset, in a constant state of flux. RIP Ray Wilkins.
Well written, incisive and reflective comment.
An absolute gentlemen. Much missed.
Yip a gentleman. Gave everything to football. Always came across so down to earth. Great player too , tidy 🇮🇪👌
Hi Paul I just watched your video of ray Wilkins , I'm disappointed that you never mentioned his career at Glasgow rangers, because that Man was a legend at Glasgow rangers and always will be
Hi Graeme, yeh I literally lost my last page of notes that day which had his rangers info on, so sadly I didn’t have it at hand to mention it.
Thanks for the tour of Randall's Park, my sister is buried there, I hope to visit again. RIP Ray, you were a classy player
Great guy and player seen Ray play for Glasgow rangers he was a true gentleman he would chat to fans rest in peace Ray thank you for the memories at ibrox
Would’ve liked to hear you speak about his career at Glasgow Rangers, especially as he was, and still is, held in high regard as a Rangers player.
He wasn't that long there as he fell out with Souness as a few did, Chris Woods Terry Butcher..
@@seltaeb9691 he was there long enough to be remembered fondly by us bluenoses , ray also said it was one of his happiest times in football , he was loved up here and will always be remembered . Rip Ray 💙💙💙
Introduced into rangers Hall of fame , for his 2 seasons he was a fav to the fans and his last season was the first of our 9 in a row league titles 💙
Ray and Di matteo would be legends in Glasgow, London and Milan. 5 moves ahead of anyone. Only one blimp, world 🌎 Cup sending off. The man just new.
Ray Wilkins was pure class.Off the field as well as on. Only spent 2 seasons at Ibrox but what an impact he made. Forever remembered for his 25 yard screamer against Cèltic
Very talented footballer. Thanks Ray RIP
Top man was Ray Wilkins , he was Chelsea through and through and adored at the Blues , RIP Butch .
I’m not a football fan and had no idea who he is. However what an interesting life he led and still taken young. Thank you again for another interesting video. ❤
I saw him play at the end of his career for QPR against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. He was way past his best by then but he still got a huge round of applause from the Chelsea fans despite having left them 15 years earlier. Such a talented player who deserved more silverware in England than he got. I also didn't realise he was an MBE either. Sad also to see him alongside Gianluca Vialli in that picture, another exciting, intelligent player who left us way too early.
Great footballer, great guy and, as you say, really insightful and intelligent co commentar and pundit in his later years. Beautiful, atmospheric spot his final resting place aided by the wintry scene. Fantastic video Paul. Well done.
I remember watching him play for Man uni,AC Milan and England between 1984-1986 RIP Ray Wilkins
Thank you, top man top player
Ray was a brilliant player for England excellent As made worth watching game ps and that's my tribute liverpool fan ⚽️
class player, even classier person. Much missed knowledge. Lfc fan. Ynwa. Rip ray.
Thank you Paul. A fine tribute to great player and top human being RIP Ray .
Hi there Paul, thanks for doing Ray Wilkins look, he was an absolute legend with a football like Kevin Keegan, you don’t see that standard of ball playing anymore, I watched Manchester United semi regular if they had a game in the south west area of England, I think this one meant a lot to you as you wiped away that tear, love what you do, because it’s different, thanks Paul
Bridgette aka BCTV a different videographer with opinions
Great tribute you made at the end. What a footballer he was. I remember seeing him play at Harrogate for Man U. Wet miserable evening, more sand than grass on the pitch and he didn’t stop running. He was coming back from injury and while out lost Man U and England captaincy to Bryan Robson. Saw him again at Ibrox and the display of skill and passing was tremendous.
Seems to have been a great bloke too.
What a goal against Septic 💙
I clicked because I was intrigued - a little morbid seeing a grave but this is a homage so will say that I respect Ray Wilkins very much and as a commentator on Italian football both on Sky and C4 was superb both he and Peter Brackley - I consider them along with Barry Davies to be the best ever. Wilkins also played against Maradona so both for Milan and England he came across the best player ever too.
A sad day 4 the world of footballand 2 a true legend rest in peace.
My football hero(QPR fan) came to us at 33 and ran the show for the next 5 years...pure class..never forgotten..R.I.P. The pirlo of loftus Road....
Met him at Millwall in 2005 absolute gentleman and so humble and watch him many times absolutely brilliant player
Loved listening to Ray on Talk Sport very knowledgeable person and always came across as a great bloke, RIP Ray.
Saw Rays goal against Brighton at Wembley he was a fine player and an even better man such a pity it wasn’t the winning goal
Watched Butch Wilkins play for Rangers on many occasions. A genius with the ball.
Saw Ray play for Palace in a pre season ......pure gentleman!
Quality player!! Quality human being!! very much missed in the world of football .. RIP
Class player. Saw him play on several occasions. RIP Ray. LUFC. MOT.
Had a pleasure of meeting him on my A license. A perfect gentleman.
I remember his last game for Rangers at a foggy afternoon against Dunfermline. He was subbed late in the second half in tears as the Rangers fans sang Ray Ray super Ray
Ray Ray super Ray
Ray Ray super Ray
Super Ray Wilkins
Ray was a great ambassador for every club he played for.
Hi mate I can remember the 80s when he played for man utd a great player and a nice person to meat
he has a lovely resting place, I remember a game from the 1986 World Cup in Mexico where he lost a stone a weight during the match. he was always one of the more interesting players to be interviewed and he loved to use the word super a lot. RIP Ray.
Great detail. Remember, heart attack and cardiac arrest are two different things. It's possible to survive a heart attack with no intervention, but not desirable! Cardiac arrest means the electrical activity of the heart has stopped completely. Sorry for the sermon, but I survived a cardiac arrest in 2009. Loving your vids.
Paul .. Ray was such a gentleman I had the pleasure meeting Ray after a few games at ibrox Ray would chat to fans he would not walk past RAY wanted to chat a true true gentleman rest in peace Ray amen
