Just seen it on the news. I know he had a cardiac arrest a few days ago and was hoping he would recover. Sadly not. He was only 61.

I’ve literally just read this. I remember him in his last playing years & being a manager R.I.P

Very sad news. Great player and a fair manager.

RIP Ray.

I'm quite emotional and sad about this. There are a few of us on here who are football fanatics and no matter which team you support or indeed if you just enjoy the game, the loss of a football legend at a ridiculously early age is terrible. This was a man who lived and breathed football as a player, a trainer, a manager and a pundit. He had the honour of captaining every team he played for including his country. He was also a thoroughly modest, nice guy and a true gentleman. Thanks for everything you gave to me as a fan Ray. RIP 😕

Nice words jonsie and truly sums up our feelings and Ray's impact on the game.

This kind of news just puts everything into perspective. They say life's too short and in Ray's case, cruelly so.
