Imagine captaining a team like Chelsea at just 18 years old! That's exactly what Ray Wilkins did. But his story goes way beyond that. He experienced incredible highs and devastating lows, both on and off the field. Get ready to discover the hidden side of Ray Wilkins you never knew about.
Ray Wilkins was born on September 14, 1956. He wasn't an ordinary Hillingdon boy; he was the son of professional footballer George Wilkins. Is that interesting to think about? The pressure? The zest that you will follow in your father's footsteps? Well, here's something interesting: Ray had three brothers who also played professional football. How cool is that?
The whole family was down there—a full-fledged football family. Graham, born only a year after Ray, was a full-back for Chelsea, Brentford, and Southend United. Then, of course, there was Dean, who both played and managed Brighton & Hove Albion. And, finally, Stephen, signed for Chelsea, later played for Brentford, and a collection of non-League teams that included Dagenham and Hayes. Football ran in this family!
But with all this talent within the family, Ray Wilkins still stood out. He was affectionately known by his childhood nickname, 'Butch.' Isn't it funny how those childhood nicknames seem to cling to us?
Ray Wilkins was from a football family; his father and three brothers were all involved in the game. Imagine growing up when football is part of family life. He played in an attacking midfield role and began his career at Chelsea. The remarkable thing was that he was made captain at 18. How many of us were capable of taking that type of responsibility at 18?
