Everybody loves Raymond Thomas Wilson, our very own 35 year old Gateshead born, Newcastle supporting, Next Retail Commercial Manager! Ray joined the club in 2008 and currently resides in Manchester.

Ray is VMFC's Kevin Simm lookalike - he's the ugly one from Liberty X by the way (Ray's words!) - although he'd rather Chris Fountain (that's the ugly one from Hollyoaks by the way!) play him on the big screen. Despite being a Newcastle fan, Wilson's favourite player is Frank Lampard - 'purely for sexual reasons' - and he likens himself to the whole of the Newcastle team from the 08/09 season. (What, crap?!) When not working or playing football, Ray enjoys to gym it a lot, and also Facebooks it at home or by phone! He has bungee jumped and sky dived in his past; brave man! And he also used to be in a youth theatre involved with various productions, including Guys and Dolls.

Ray has written a thesis* on why he enjoys being a part of the club and after attempting to condense his 79 page effort, it's simply impossible. As such, it is quoted below! Good on you sir!
