The
Football Association have announced they will pay tribute to Ray Wilkins at
Saturday's FA Cup final at Wembley.
The former Chelsea and Manchester United midfielder passed away in hospital
last month after suffering a heart attack.
His wife Jackie will present the trophy to the winning team from the Royal
Box and the match-day programme will contain a tribute.
The final pits Chelsea against Manchester United, and banners in his memory
will be unveiled at both ends of the ground ahead of kick-off.
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."
