Ray Wilkins, antigo internacional inglês, faleceu nesta quarta-feira, depois de vários dias hospitalizado devido a uma crise cardíaca.
Antigo jogador de Chelsea, Manchester United, Milan, Paris Saint-Germain e Glasgow Rangers, entre outros, tinha 61 anos.
Internacional inglês em 84 ocasiões, Wilkins participou em dois Mundiais (1982 e 1986, no qual defrontou Portugal).
Depois de pendurar as chuteiras tornou-se treinador, com destaque para os anos como adjunto de Luiz Felipe Scolari e Carlo Ancelotti no Chelsea.
As reações ao desaparecimento de Wilkins, bem como recordações de alguns dos seus melhores momentos, sucedem-se.

RIP Ray Wilkins
Always so humble & softly spoken whenever I saw him.
Genuine lovely guy.
Watched him live at Loftus road many times for QPR. What a great passer & teacher of the game for any young kids who watched him pic.twitter.com/4wprZwXiuC
