[Joey66]

One of the best left backs to play for the blues English international signed at his peak -RIP - one of the first genera of an an overlapping full back -RIP sad news-

One of my early heroes and saw him play at West Brom in about 1968. My dad took me and he fell on to me as we were sat in the front row of one of the stands. It left a lasting impression... and of course, once Everton has touched... In my case Ray Wilson... Sad day indeed.

RIP Ray Wison, the best left back I have had the honour of seeing play in an Everton shirt!

Sky have just done a section about him , not one word of Everton, any young fans watching would have thought he only played for Huddersfield and England.
Rip never got to see him but everyone I know that did rated him highly.

The fact that Ramon had been unwell for a great many years gives you an illustration of his renowned fighting qualities.
I feel honoured at being able to see him play in an Everton shirt.
RIP sir.

He was such a cultured left back, one of the best I have seen. Such great memories of him. Joins that great club in the sky! RIP Ray.

RIP our greatest ever left back Ramon Wilson,NSNO personified as a footballer and a gentleman.

The classiest left back I have seen in my 55 years plus, watching the Blues. For those of you too young to remember him. Leighton Baines in his hay day, as good a fullback as he was, was not good enough to lace Ramón Wilson’s boots. R.I.P. Ray, it was a privilege to have seen you play.

Only privileged to see Ray play a times when I was a kid. Absolute class. Hes now in good company with the pantheon of our blue aristocrats. Rest In Peace, Ramon.

Very sad news. Ray was a hero of mine when I was growing up. I proper footballer.

The best left back I've seen at Everton - and we've had some decent ones down the years. Lovely man too, by all accounts. Rest in peace, Ray.

RIP Ray, a player of true class and great ability. One of a few cultured players I have seen in a Blue shirt.
