#4 Ray Wilkins' sudden death
Former Chelsea captain Wilkins passed away following a cardiac arrest at his home on April 4th, 2018, aged 61. Wilkins, who also played for Manchester United, was taken to hospital where he was placed in an induced coma, but he died several days later.
Wilkins - known in the game by his childhood nickname 'Butch' - played for 12 sides and was on the coaching staff of several more, but is commonly associated with Chelsea. A Stamford Bridge fan favourite, Wilkins was adored by the Blues faithful and had carried out media duties with talkSPORT and Sky Sports, after his spell in coaching, shortly before suffering the cardiac arrest.
A winner of 84 England caps, he became just the fourth player to be sent off while playing for his country when he was dismissed during the 1986 World Cup finals in Mexico, during a game against Morocco.
