      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.
      Some real quality keepers in that list & although not an English keeper but in my top five ,was pat Jennings.

      6Stringer made a great shout about the 1973 UEFA Cup Final (first leg) penalty save. I remember it well. It came as we were leading 3-0, and the full importance was seen after we lost the second leg 2-0.

      My other standout memory of Ray Clemence also involves Borussia M'gladbach in the 1977 European Cup Final. At 1-1, soon after they had equalized, he made a vital save in a one-to-one with Uli Stielike.

      It's at 2:30 in the clip below:

      Rest in peace.
