Minutes applause for Ray Wilkins before Rags game.

[blue by birth]

I would be shocked if it wasn't observed impeccably by our fans.
Regardless of who somebody played for, showing respect at their passing is what normal people do.

 

[sir baconface]

A time to put petty rivalries aside. And I’m sure Blues will respond as they should.

 

[yeseye]

What about Eric Bristow?

What about him?

 

[jimharri]

What about him?

Damn, beat me to it!

 

[MCFCTrick]

Respect as is due to him ....

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Can't see there being any problems.he was Chelsea through and through even though he played for united most people don't associate him with them.

The BBC do and did. They showed more snippets of Ray, donned in scarlet, smacking in a goal in some final - in the days when he could comb his hair!

 

[bluebrother55]

Any tribute will be impeccably observed by all City fans. Ray Wilkins was always first and foremost an old school gentleman.

 

[Ban-jani]

More important than ever that we show our class and how we, as always, conduct ourselves properly and show respect when called on to do so, as opposed to others

Hear hear

RIP Ray

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Should we do a sideways Poznan for Ray?

 

[StrangewaysHereWeCome]

The guy had impeccable manners, we should show the same.

I couldn't agree more.

He was excellent back then wasn’t he? Knowledgeable and impartial. Lovely voice.Perfect for Sunday afternoons

Indeed. A soothing laid back commentary I've missed since what Brian Clough referred to as Sky sports insistence on sensationalsing every near miss, tackle etc.

Plus he never frayed hungover nerves but there's so much more Ray will be missed for. It's a real sad passing and I was lucky to catch the Golazo programme on BT last night remembering Ch4's programme, Ray Wilkins was on it remuniscing his time on the show.
