magic8ball 27,901 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Il never forget Wilkins last game for us .We were in the east enclosure ,Can vividly remember the fog pouring over the Govan stand just after half time and by the end of the game it was almost wiped out by thick fog . The whole crowd was singing his name throughout the second half .He left the pitch in tears and I reckon a few bears left with moist eyes too . During his days with us I used to love watching him in the warm up .His touch and finesse with a ball was on a different level to anybody else who played in those days.Even when he was playing alongside Davie Cooper he had that wee bit extra . Cant really think of a modern day player to compare him to .But he would be worth a fortune . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell by the way he spoke about us in the years after that he loved being at Ibrox . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember hear this just after Ray passed No one had ever heard this story before A fitting tribute to a great man and human being who put others before himself God bless you Ray Wilkins Got quite emotional there just watching that superb volley v them in the 5-1 game in 1988..a game I attended with my wee pal who passed a few years ago. If you e never seen it...go watch it One of if not THE best goal ever scored at at Ibrox in my lifetime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacBoyd 5,438 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Too young to see him play but loved listening to him talk. Classy guy who loved football and spoke brilliantly about our club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2daludaludalu 390 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 What a guy. My very first old firm game at Ibrox was the 5-1 game and Wilkins scoring that belter. He might have been about 35 years of age but what a player. I see Davis in the Ray Wilkins mould. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronniescu 2,970 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 magic8ball vividly summed up Butch's final game. Truly unforgettable. Had the pleasure of being in Ray's company about 33 years ago when my son was the mascot. He was an absolute gentleman as well as one of our best-ever players.
