Chelsea and England legend Ray Wilkins is fighting for his life in a London hospital, having been put in an induced coma following a heart attack. The 61-year-old, who also played with Manchester United, AC Milan, Rangers and a host of other clubs and coached at Chelsea, QPR, and Aston Villa, was brought to hospital having suffered a heart attack at home.
His wife Jackie is quoted in The Daily Mirror as saying:
He’s in hospital, he’s had a cardiac arrest and is in intensive care.
He is not in a good state at all, I’m afraid. He’s critically ill.
The cardiac arrest led to a fall which has meant he’s had to be put in an induced coma. It’s very, very bad.
Chelsea Football Club sent their best wishes to Wilkins this morning.
