Statement on behalf of Ray Wilkins’ family

It is with great sadness we announce that Raymond Colin Wilkins passed away this morning.

We would like to thank St George’s staff for the amazing work they have done to care for our beloved Ray. 

We would also like to say thank you for the many goodwill messages we have received from Ray’s friends, colleagues, and members of the public. 

Ray leaves behind his loving wife, Jackie, daughter Jade, son Ross, and his beautiful grandchildren, Oliver, Frankie, Ava, Freddie, Jake and Archie. 

We are asking for privacy at this very difficult time.
