    I’m too young to have any real memories of him as a player but I welled up a bit in the car hearing Holloway’s words about him on Talksport. Really sad.

    Here's what Nigel Quashie had to say about Wilkins when he gave him his debut v Man Utd at Old Trafford in Dec 1995 ...

    Best tribute I've seen, amazing story.

    I was at that game, my first ever Rangers game, 16 years young. Still remember Quashie nutmegging Eric Cantona. Three days later we played Chelsea at Loftus Road, another 2-1 loss. Had the pleasure to meet Ray Wilkins after that game, you really felt like he had time for you even after a defeat like that (Matt Brazier own goal). Had my picture taken with him, chatted a few words, starstruck me. Great memories.

    R.I.P. Ray. You will be sorely missed by many. Thoughts are with your family and friends at this sad time. 61 years young - gone far too soon.

    So very sad. Way to young for a clearly wonderful man. My sister met him a few weeks ago and he was happy to chat and have a selfie with him. RIP Ray.

    The outpouring of respect and the amazing stories by fellow professionals and fans has been completely overwhelming.
    I can only say how humbled, and proud as a QPR fan, to read and hear those stories. I’m sure we would all like to be remembered well ... but it is hard to remember hearing such respect for a football professional in all my years of watching and supporting football.
    Ray was clearly an incredible professional above and beyond what I ever knew or thought of him.
