Ray Clemence

Good keeper. Can't have been that old.

*checks own age
*sake

72....only a few years older than me ffs......

 

[peteblue]

When goalkeepers wore green jerseys.

and no gloves.

and didn’t drop the ball......

 

[H.H.]

Very sad news and not even that old.
Even though he was getting on a bit when he signed for Spurs for the 5 or 6 years he was with us I was surprised at how unspectacularly good he was, the total opposite to his rival Shilton.
I was at his first game back at Anfield and I
still remember they great reception they gave him.
R.I.P.

Great keeper should've had well over a 100 caps except the then England managers kept picking the far inferior Shilton for some reason.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Sad news. He was a boss keeper, RIP Ray.

 

[PSB1]

Believe that Shankly didn't like left handed keepers, so the scout lied to him & the rest is history.

Seemed to be a humble bloke who kept his mouth shut. Something that a number of his team mates failed to copy.

R I P.

That is the scary thing !!

 

[KaiserEFC]

One of the thousand club too. Fair play to him

RIP Ray Clemence. Sad news. One of a few rs players who came across as a decent, humble guy. Great Keeper.

Sad news great keeper if Clemence never had Shilton as a rival, or visa versa, scary to think how many England caps they would have had each.

 

[davek]

Great GK.

R.I.P.

Always baffled me how Shilton ended up with twice as many caps as Clemence. World class keeper even if he did play for them.

RIP Ray.

RIP Ray.

Especially after his howler against Poland that cost England a World Cup place

Me and my matel litterally bumped into him and his family in the WestEnd, hell of a nice man. RIP.

RIP Ray.

They both were tbf. Just that none of the managers at the time had the bottle to choose one as first choice.
