Ray Wilkins

I wanted to hear how he kind of talked through the game.

And the thing that struck me is that his voice is a cross between his good mate Roy Hodgson and Ray Wilkins.

It's incredible how he sounds so similar in terms of how his pronunciation of words comes across like a young Ray Wilkins, but also with a little bit of woy in there.

Even he is sort of quite forgotten in the bigger picture.

I think because of everything that Hodgson goes on to do, both internationally and actually at Malmo, although it, So, I think it's easy.

We had, I mean, we had Dima Terry for a bit.

You had Ray Wilkins there and Steve Holland, whoever.

Like, you kind of knew those guys.

Sammy Lee was at Liverpool.

On this day, Henry Coburn was born 105 years ago, made 275 appearances in the first of Matt Busby's great teams.

Ray Wilkins would have been 70 years old today, a great midfielder for United.

Underrated, called the crab by Ron Atkinson, who didn't like him very much, but he was very popular playing, a very, very good man as well.

you hear a lot of good stories of Ray particularly after his passing unfortunately but yeah former United captain as well took over from Martin Buchan was named as United captain for a moment and and was superseded very quickly by Brian Robson when he became injured.

And like, just maybe just delay in a second to be like, I'm going to wait till that person gets in the right position first before playing the pass.

He just has, he's always had this, just, amazing composure and calmness on the ball just to be like yeah you might be calling for it yeah or you might be wanting me to move the ball a bit faster but I know that if I wait a split second I can play the right pass here and I can find you in a position where going to be making and and what's also so good about him as well he he doesn't just pass sideways backwards he makes those long raking passes and what better manager to have really i know curry did at times get blamed the crab yeah the crab the uh ray wilkins of his era but yeah what better person to have to from a game intelligence perspective and like you say telemans It's going to be interesting to see how that duo do on Sunday.

Think they'll both play on Sunday? It's kind of interesting.

I don't know.

I mean, don't forget, we, there was a lot, there's a lot of people who, "Oh, yeah, they're my second team.

Or I love Orient." You know, in the '70s, we could have put a team together with Ray Wilkins, Peter Shilton, Martin Ling, Alvin Martin.

Stan Bowles would play for the Orient.

They're all, "Ooh, lovely East London club." When they went completely bust, they had no money at all.

No.

At all.

And another player you had at 40 was Ray Wilkins.

Yeah, we had Ray.
