Rip brilliant keeper, shilton would have had an untouchable record cap had he not’ve been around at the same time

Fantastic keeper RIP champ.

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

RIP Ray. Great keeper who had a long and successful career and always came across as a decent guy.

What sad news. He was one of the best I ever saw and played in a time when fans had a lot more respect for opponents and each other than often seems to be the case nowadays. Especially those fans of the two clubs he played for in his heyday. A sad loss to our game. RIP.

Blimey
Sad news :(

Would of played lots more times for England if it wasn’t for the fact that Peter Shilton was around at the same time.
Another footballer from my youth taken.
Condolences to his family.

I remember us playing Spurs at Maine rd around Sept 85 ( we won 2 1 ) and the teams switched round before kick off.The whole North stand rose as one to give Ray an ovation as he ran towards the goal.He raised his hands above his head to applaud in return. A great memory of a quality keeper.

I remember him when I was a young 9 yr old, England v Scotland Home International in 79, making an AMAZING save off a huge deflection from one of his own defenders. One of the best saves ever (imo)

Seemed quite small for a keeper at 6 foot, when Shilton, Big Joe and Phil Parkes were all HUGE men

A sad day. Nice to see so many glowing tributes

I’d forgotten about Phil Parkes, and there was also Jimmy Rimmer, who was another fantastic ‘keeper from that time.

In the late 70s and 80s there seemed little to choose between him and Shilton. We were lucky to have them both.

Wasn't he the one who showed his arse? ;-)

Always seemed like good bloke. A real shock to hear this.

peter bonnetti, marvin day, they were names back in the day, not forgetting burridge, always remember his energetic pre match , however the reserve keepers were usually gash, paddy roache, keith mccrae to name a couple :)
