That is very sad news, it is always good to hear his football punditry on the radio. I remember his first game for QPR and it was at Palace and he ran the show in midfield.

They called him “ the crab” as he always moved the ball the width of the pitch and never forward. He was a better player than that and always gave it his all in an England shirt...

I could have sworn he did some coaching with us though. Can’t find any mention on Wikipedia so maybe my memory fails

Pray God that Wilkins makes a full recovery.

Thoughts go out to all his family and friends.

He joined as player coach in 94 and broke his ankle in first match at home to Liverpool(Lost 6-1). He went off to QPR later that same season once he had recovered.

He is still fighting which is great to see this morning. Fingers crossed for the true gentleman.

Will never forget his "Liverpool are majestic and nobody can beat them" comment at half time during the semi final at Villa Park. Minutes later mayhem ensued..talk about commentators curse

Don't think he was sent off, pretty sure he broke his ankle on his debut in a pretty calamitous season.

His son used to play in goal for someone or other that my team played against, remember seeing Ray at a few games.

Speaks with clarity and experience as a pundit and comes across as a thoroughly decent, dry and down to earth guy.

Don’t like the guy but wouldn’t wish harm on him.

From the match report of that game -
It was a desperate day for Palace's three summer signings.

Former Stockport County striker Andy Preece was taken to hospital with back trouble after 24 minutes. Former England captain Ray Wilkins was booked and limped off eight minutes early and uncertain Darren Pitcher, signed from Charlton, presented Liverpool with their crucial third goal.

I am afraid that this half time punditry is my abiding memory of Butch.

Got the feeling that at 38; he never wanted to come to Palace.

But still very sad, sounds bad and I wish him well.
