Former England international And Chelsea Fc Legend Ray Wilkins Was Seriously ill In Hospital on Friday Night After Suffering a Cardiac Arrest.
Wilkins, 61, who has worked as a pundit for Sky Sports News and talkSPORT over the last week, is understood to have fallen and hit his head after his heart stopped.
He was taken to St George’s Hospital in Tooting, London where he has been put in an induced Coma.
Ray’s son Ross Wilkins said on Friday night: ‘I hope everyone can respect the family’s wishes over privacy at this very difficult time for us. It’s touch and go whether my father will get through this.’
Wilkins, who has bravely battled poor health including ulcerative colitis over the last few years, was given the all clear after a double heart bypass operation last July.
He made 84 appearances for England, captaining his country 10 times, and went on to manage QPR, Fulham and Jordan.
He has also been an assistant boss at Chelsea for three spells, and took over as caretaker manager when Luiz Felipe Scolari was sacked in February 2009.
He went on to work with Guus Hiddink at Stamford Bridge and remained as assistant manager when Carlo Ancelotti took over in 2009. Wilkins left the club in November 2010.
Get Well Soon Wilkins.
