Former England captain and Chelsea, Manchester United and AC Milan midfielder Ray Wilkins was fighting for his life following a heart attack with his wife telling British media: "It's very, very bad".
Wilkins, 61, is understood to have fallen and hit his head after his heart stopped. He has been placed in an induced coma at a London hospital.
"He is not in a good state at all, I'm afraid. He's critically ill," Wilkins' wife Jackie told The Mirror newspaper.
"The cardiac arrest led to a fall which has meant he's had to be put in an induced coma. It's very, very bad."
