​Ray Wilkins to be remembered at FA Cup final

Ray Wilkins' widow Jackie will present the trophy to the winners of the FA Cup final between Chelsea and Manchester United on Saturday.

The former Chelsea and Manchester United midfielder passed away in hospital last month after suffering a heart attack and the match-day programme will contain a tribute.

FA chairman Greg Clarke said: "It is particularly fitting that both clubs and the wider football community will unite to remember Ray Wilkins on the day.

"Ray had a longstanding affinity with the competition, winning it as both a player and as an assistant manager. He is sorely missed."
