From my very limited medical knowledge an induced coma can be a very wise and preventative move and not as alarming as it sounds. still, a heart attack....
"The opposite of love, after all, is not hate, but indifference."
Sad news indeed. I loved him as a player at QPR and always had a bit of an affinity as I played for one season in a team with him in the Hayes & District League (I think that was what it was called back then) even though he was nearly 2 years younger than me; he was THAT good even then. I guess the alcohol is finally taking it's toll on his body. I hope he fully recovers and turns it around.
Get well soon Ray. Had the pleasure of meeting him in his office at HQ when he was manager. I had a nephew who was 7 years old and terminally ill and we all were all
guests of the club for the day and he couldn't do enough. Took us to the players lounge etc. Top bloke.
Just woke up hungover on Easter Saturday to read this.
Tears rolling down my face
A fall and him so balanced and light on his feet.. See the incredible goal v Liverpool at the School End

When his son says 'it's not looking good' you have to worry. One of the best passers of a ball I've ever seen. Must have created 50% of Les Ferdinand goals when they played together. Always made a fuss of Richard Ireland ( the guy in the mobility scooter who is ever present at all games)whenever he visited LR . A true gentleman on and off the pitch.
I used to go and watch reserve team games when I lived closer and one of them was a game at LR against Charlton (I think) and during a phase in play Ray was loitering over near the dug outs about 3-4 metres infield and a hoofed clearance was heading his way. He shaped as though to volley it right footed back into the box and several players reacted accordingly. Instead, he killed the ball on the drop and flicked it to his left foot where he volleyed it to the opposite side of the goal to where the defenders had moved in expectation of the right foot volley. It has taken me many minutes longer to write this than to have watched it but was one of the finest goals I have ever seen but was probably never captured on film. If this is the end for him, I hope he leaves without any further pain and he finds the peace he struggled to find in his later life.
