#10 Ray Wilkins

Wilkins, A. Cole, Lampard and Hiddink

“When you take the work ethic the guy’s got, it’s no fluke. The guy works so hard day in day out. It’s first class. When you’ve consistently scored goals and played the way he has for so many seasons you have to say he is world class. He has this ability to get forward but the ability to get back and defend as well. Every day in training he does this. He works so hard – he trains as he plays. He is a credit to the game and a fantastic athlete.”

Wilkins played for Chelsea from 1973 to 1979. He was in Chelsea's training staff on two occasions. He was a very close friend of Frank Lampard. He has died aged 61. Wilkins did and will be a major part of Chelsea’s history.
