    My great memory of Ray clemence is Kenny Dalglish's goal through the legs at the Hibs end at Hampden 😁
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    Growing up when we played the home internationals he and Shilton were England's keepers. Happy memories of being a kid and watching him.

    A stalwart of my 1970s football sticker albums. Great keeper who would probably have won well over 100 caps if he hadn't spent most of his career fighting for the No 1 spot with Peter Shilton. I always preferred Clemence. RIP Ray.

  12. #11
    A seemingly really nice guy, and he was a really good keeper. But for me he was nowhere near as good as Shilton, just my opinion though. RIP Ray Clemence.

    His book Clemence on Goalkeeping was a great read. It's out of print but I picked up a copy in a charity shop a few years back. It really should be a must read for any aspiring goalkeepers.

    Too young to remember him playing but he was one of those names always referenced when great keepers were spoken about.

    RIP.

    Clemence and Shilton were the England regulars when I was a kid and I used to marvel that England had two such great goalkeepers at the same time.


    RIP, Ray.

    Very sad news this.

    He was one of the main football faces from the 70's and 80's when I was growing up. An exceptional goalkeeper and seemed a right nice bloke too.

    RIP son

    Yep brilliant goalie in his time and seemed a decent guy spoke well of KD in the Kenny documentary a few years back. Can remember seeing him save a John Brownlie penalty at ER which would have put Hibs 2 0 up in a European tie. Was an iconic moment for me after he signed for Tottenham his first game back at Anfield getting a huge heartwarming ovation when he ran towards the Kop at the start of the game. RIP Ray.

    Obviously remembered for his through the legs clanger but was a great keeper. England were spoilt for keepers then with Shilton and Clemence fighting it out. Apparently a lovely guy too. RIP

    One of the players who never made the wrong kind of headlines. I wonder how many caps he would have won had Shilton not been around.

    How many caps would Shilton have won if the manager had stuck with him instead of playing them alternately?

    Anyone remember Joe Corrigan, the other keeper who was very good as well if I recall. Unfortunately for him he had the 2 world class goalies to compete with.
    Corrigan would probably have been first choice keeper for most countries in his prime
