Ray Clemence RIP

A fine keeper, R.I.P Ray

 

[Vienna_70]

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 :)
