RIP Ray Wilkins, at a tragically young 61 years old.

He's from my childhood era of Panini sticker books.  A great player, probably best remembered for his sending off at the 86 World Cup.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ray in the Marriott Hotel in Sheffield about 15 years ago. He even bought me a drink. He got absolutely out of his head on copious amounts of red wine.

RIP

Remember standing on The Pop watching Derby County play QPR when Butch came to take a throw right in front of us. The whole stand started chanting "BALDY, BALDY, BALDY"...as you do. Most players would either flick the V's and wind the crowd up or lol pretend not to hear. Wilkins took the throw, turned round to the crowd and performed an elaborate bow and put his thumbs up. Everybody cheered! Turned the crowd on a sixpence in a second and we all clapped him for the rest of the game. Never seen anything like that, such class.

RIP Eric.  One of Stoke's finest.  True game changer in his sport.  Set up the showbiz style of darts that is standard today years before big time TV darts happened weekly.  Pushed, sponsored and motivated Taylor to be the greatest ever English sportsman.

My uncle had a pub in Leek, and Bristow used to play for them in the local league.
