R.I.P. Ray Wilkins,a true Gentleman of the Game we all Love.Thoughts and Prayers to his Family and Friends.
So many people came forward and gave examples of his kindness but one stood out for me.
Ray spotted a homeless man sitting on a blanket in the street. He went over and started talking to the man about his situation. Ray sat down next to him on the blanket. It turns out the guy was an ex soldier who suffered mental problems and had split from his wife. Ray gave him a £ 20 note and made him promise he would get a hot meal that night.
The man decided to go to a hostel that night. There he met a charity worker who pulled a few strings and got the ex soldier a job . After that night he never looked back and now has turned his life around. He said Ray gave him the break and he will forever remember Ray for his kindness. Obviously he was gutted as he spoke and ended up in tears as he related the story.
