      What did we pay for Alisson?? £75m?
      How much would Clem be worth then? double?

      RIP Ray... top goalkeeper, had the pleasure of growing up watching him week in week out..
      Hardly ever wore gloves as well.. even in the depths of winter on a mid week game up at Newcastle..

      My best Clem moment has to be the penalty save at the kop end, in the re-arranged UEFA Cup final 1st leg when we beat Borussia Mönchengladbach in 73
      The way he stretched down to his right to palm it away was true quality..

      Not so good moment for Clem was when Kenny nutmegged him at Hampden Park... but then Kenny nutmegged everyone..

      You'll never walk alone Ray..

      Deeply saddened by this news. Fantastic keeper and by all accounts a gentleman. Used to listen to his radio show solely to listen to him - our musical tastes were not aligned!


      Thanks for it all.


      RIP England's Number One, England, England's Number One.

      Sad news. Slightly before my time as a Liverpool player but did watch him play against us.

      Played more league games in the 70s than anybody else and his stats, trophies and stories tell you everything.

      Seemed like a great fella on and off the pitch. 15 year battle v cancer hardly seems like a fair fight. RIP.

      Would have been the first English Treble but 22 years earlier . . .


      Remember something he said.

      It was to a TV reporter on the team bus after leaving Wembley 1977 . FA Cup Final.

      Although Jimmy Case scored a brilliant goal the Scum sneaked the win .

      We had though won the League title only a few days before .



      He said that after today ( Cup Final ) we would give Borussia Monchengladbach hell the following week in the European Cup Final.

      We did.  We beat them 3-1. 

      The things you remember.

      RIP Clem.  Privileged to have watched you play.

      YNWA


      Can identify with his cancer 15 year fight.

      Watched him after he took over from The Flying Pig Tommy Lawrence.

      If it hadn't been for Shilton being about ... Clem would have had many more England caps.

      R.I.P.  Clem.

      I was very saddened to hear about the death of Ray Clemence.I think of all the goalkeepers I have seen play for L.F.C as far back as Cyril Sidlow, without a doubt Ray Clemence stands out as the best of all.I remember when we signed him as a young lad from Scunthorpe and as was the Shankly custom Ray went into the reserves for a season or two.
                                                            R.I.P. Ray and thanks for the memories and all the honours you helped this great club achieve.

      Best goalkeeper we ever had in my opinion, and had the pleasure of watching him many times.
      Sad news.

      Rest in peace, Ray. The best goal keeper we ever had. A genius at understanding the balance of the game and  he was brilliant at getting to the ball, before it was kicked, his intuition was knowing where it was going to go. I know lots of stories about Clem, but sufficient to say, I loved the guy. This was a photo of him and Kevin Keegan taken last year, with me between. He thought he was clear of the problem. How sad.

      Not enough goalkeepers of Ray's calibre about today, in my own view.

      Some wonderful tributes to Ray in this thread, lovely to read, I met Ray a couple of times at Melwood and he was such a gentleman and a bloody brilliant keeper making some outstanding saves in his awesome career.

      Condolences to all his family and friends, You'll certainly never walk alone Ray and may you RIP.

      Liverpool's finest ever keeper & as many have said, would have a lot more England caps but for Shilton.

      From an era of so many fine English goalkeepers and you look at the dearth of talent now!

      Clemence, Shilton, Corrigan, Cooper. Parkes, Keelan, of the top of my head.

      That's absolutely brilliant, I was so happy when I read about this, the shirt apparently has come from Stephen Done's own private collection.
