‘I talked to him during my difficult moments’ - Gianfranco Zola’s emotional tribute to Ray Wilkins

Gianfranco Zola joined talkSPORT to pay an emotional tribute to former Chelsea, Manchester United and England star Ray Wilkins, who passed away on Wednesday.

Aged just 61, Wilkins suffered a cadiac arrest last week, and his death has been greeted with an outpouring of emotion from all across the footballing landscape.

talkSPORT hosted numerous tributes to Wilkins yesterday, while Franco Baresi laid an AC Milan No8 Wilkins shirt and a bouquet of flowers ahead of the Rossoneri’s Milan derby against Inter; Wilkins played three years at the San Siro.
