This underrated Keeper conceded only 4 goals in 21 matches at anfield in the 78 / 79 season..why few talked about that ? 26 clean sheets in that season...i m waiting to see a keeper doing or equalling that .
My father was alive when Ray Clemence was playing for Liverpool and he always tell me that Ray Ray Clemence was the best goalkeeper he had ever seen and a great LEGEND for Liverpool. Yesterday when I told my dad of Ray Clemence's death he was deeply saddened upon hearing ot and he told me " Son, football has lost A GREAT LEGEND ". My dad afterwards showed me a few videos of Ray Clemence's saves and I was amazed at it. RIP Ray Clemence a Liverpool and Great LEGEND and the BEST GOALKEEPER in the WORLD HISTORY
My goalkeeping hero growing up in the 70s and when I started playing the only gloves for me were the blue sondico Clemence pro,rest in peace Scunthorpe Liverpool tottenham and England’s no1😥😥
i agree if Becker can come off his line as quick as Ray just to clear the ball away then we will have a new sweeper and sweeper system, then we would once again have a spare defender on the pitch without having to play one like we did in the 70s
He was a great player, a superb professional and much more importantly a genuinely nice bloke. One of the greatest players who ever played for England or anyone for that matter. He served his country as a coach and helped to develop his successors in the England goal mouth. My condolences to his family, friends and all the people of Liverpool who will be mourning his loss. Rest In Peace RAY CLEMENCE. 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
What a great era for goalkeepers in the old first division...Bonetti / Clemence / Stepney / Shilton / Parkes / Jennings / Wilson et al....all great players and solid pros day in and day out....RIP one of the best.
As a long loyal Manchester United fan, and even having an elder brother who is a Liverpool fan (who used to rib me mercilessly during this era.. of course) - You are a part of my life just as much as Alex Stepney. I hope you forgive me for all the times I swore about you. RIP and God speed Ray.
Very, very few decent, and likeable men have represented Liverpool FC but like Shanks and Keegan, Clemence was one. Unlike many, he didn't have a bitter or twisted bone in his body. RIP Ray Clemence, a great goalkeeper and an equally nice bloke!!!
Yes, a superb keeper and without doubt one of the main reasons Liverpool were so successful in the 1970s. Why they sold him when he was still brilliant is beyond me. Grobelaar showed the occasional flash of brilliance but I think Clemence was far more dependable.
Liverpool didn't want to sell Clemence, it was Clem himself that wanted to leave because he wanted a fresh challenge as he felt he couldn't do anymore with Liverpool because he had won every trophy and accolade he could in football apart from winning the BALON D`OR and the European cup winners cup
It was not just about a new challenge - Clemence was in his 30's when he left Liverpool and was thinking about his financial security. Spurs offered to double his wages so he left. It was similar reasons to why Kevin Keegan left Liverpool.
The best in the world bar non for a period in the mid70's to early 80's. I'm a Newcastle fan and remember the 77/78 European cup finals well. Better than Shilton and a lot calmer as well. Those were the days that no matter which club you supported, when Liverpool played in europe, you watched in awe, and always watched. As a football fan first and foremost their game in the 77 quarters against St. Etienne at Anfield was simply the most gripping game i've ever watched. RIP Ray
It's a sad day when a great like Ray Clemence passes. He was arguably the best of his era and was definitely my inspiration as a keeper in the 70s and as a Liverpool fan he features in so many of my favourite memories. Walk on!
Over a 1000 career appearances, most clean sheets of any goalkeeper in football worldwide. Only 16 goals conceded in 42 games. My god he was imo along with Yashin, the greatest goalkeepers ever
Sad day today Ray clemmett. ⚽🏆rest in peace and Des O'Connor🎤😎 rest in peace two of the great gone today but not forgotten amen❗ what a.. iclub heaven must be❗
I felt he was better than Shilton he was more of an all round goalkeeper. Shilton was fantastic excellent reflexes, but it was a well known fact in those days that Clemence was better in the air. There wasn't much between the pair of them.
Rest in peace to the best goalkeeper Liverpool have had and ever will have .legend is a word banded round to often to people who sometimes don’t deserve it .in this case it is deserved the man was and will always be a legend god speed ray 😥😥
Don't forget his other position he played in and made his own at Liverpool, we had no need for the use of a sweeper system as Ray played that role to perfection, and he was left to do it because of his speed in which he came off his line, as he also acted as a spare defender by taking up that role as sweeper, can you imagine the look in eyes of the strikers when they saw him coming towards them as he put fear in to their eyes on many occasions, also whenever he faced a penalty he never ever moved off his line too early always after the ball had actually been kicked unlike most GKs in todays game, he should have been Knighted for all his achievements, R.I.P Ray Clemence our sympathy goes out to your family and friends at this very sad time, 3 football clubs will be mourning his passing today, Scunthorpe, Liverpool and Spurs fans will be saddened by this news
No wonder Ron Greenwood, then England Manager, couldnt choose between Clemence and Shilton. It's a bit like waiting for a bus, waiting ages for one then two come at the same time lol Watching videos on the two keepers just makes it hard to choose between the two, especially when you add Southall into the fold as well in the early 80's ( I know he played for Wales, but three great keepers playing in England at the same time )

rufusandbourne WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING SHILTON MILES BETTER THAN CLEMENCE RAY SHOULD HAVE GOT MORE CAP'S THAN SHILTON HE WAS A MORE NATURAL KEEPER,CONCENTRATION,HIS ALL ROUND GAME BUT ALSO THE SOUTHERN PRESS FAVOURED SHILTON BECAUSE THEY HATED LIVERPOOL.
I think they were all great keepers. Personally I'd agree Jennings was the best followed by Shilts then Clem BUT that's no disrespect. They were all top class. Can't agree with the press comment. I think the press and media have always favoured Liverpool and still do. Look @ Sky Sports ffs, it's almost Liverpool TV !!!
Pas difficile d'être meilleur que Grobelaard. Clemence était un remarquable gardien , peut être meilleur que Shilton, plus naturel dans ses réflexes (voir les matchs contre st étienne où il est grandiose) Il n' était pas mauvais en équipe nationale (il avait été très bon contre l'espagne en 80)
He was Liverpool’s greatest goal keeper and the best in the world at that time R.I.P Ray Clemence you will be greatly missed.
Here here... still remember the puffed up cheeks when he wellied the ball out of his hands
Rest in peace Ray Clemence we love you all of Millwall fans love you
RIP Ray. One of my 70s football heroes & a Liverpool legend - Leicester fan.
Omg, 28 clean sheets in one season. The greatest thing was that he missed only six league games in 11 yrs.
Such loyal players. 👍
RIP.
Ray Clemence, Steve Heighway and the Kop are why I fell in love with LFC! RIP Clem.
This underrated Keeper conceded only 4 goals in 21 matches at anfield in the 78 / 79 season..why few talked about that ? 26 clean sheets in that season...i m waiting to see a keeper doing or equalling that .
it will never be beaten, Alisson might equal it if he stays at the club long enough and has the same sort of season he had in 2019
One of my childhood heroes.
RIP Ray
An absolute legend.
Most underrated goalkeeper of all time. Most decorated European goalkeeper at club level and goalkeeper with most clean sheets in football history.
Guillermo Bello You're right Clemence was real quality
yes he was and not only as a GK but as a sweeper as well
what about bookings and sending's off, as i don't think i can recall of him ever getting sent off or getting booked while playing for the mighty reds
@Oddjob6120 clemence was underrated compared to most GKs in his day, the media use to write more about Stepney than they did of clem
Always wanted to be Ray when playing football as a kid. Rip from a West Ham fan
So sorry to hear Ray has passed away. Fantastic goalkeeper. One of the best and a true gentleman. My condolences to his family. R.I.P Ray.⚘⚘⚘❤
With banks and Shilton, one of the three biggest in England! Regards from Brazil
Ray Clemence 1948-2020.

Heaven has new guardian now, the safest pair of hands 🙌 , RIP and YNWA Clem
One of the best all time, helped set the club up and paved the way
Thanks Ray,another great player from a golden era has left us.From a Chelsea fan.RIP.
A very , very , very good goalkeeper . Amongst the best goalkeepers of the world .
Phenomenal keeper and instrumental to the success of Liverpool in the 70's. I swear Allison Becker so reminds me of Clemence
But not in Clems league
i agree if Becker can come off his line as quick as Ray just to clear the ball away then we will have a new sweeper and sweeper system, then we would once again have a spare defender on the pitch without having to play one like we did in the 70s
@@ianharrison2490 of course Becker is in Clems league and he's only in his 2nd full season, also Becker as won the one trophy that Clem never did
Liverpool Legend. I still love a green jersey to this day. RIP say hello to Bill and Bob upstairs
He was a great player, a superb professional and much more importantly a genuinely nice bloke.
One of the greatest players who ever played for England or anyone for that matter.
He served his country as a coach and helped to develop his successors in the England goal mouth.
My condolences to his family, friends and all the people of Liverpool who will be mourning his loss.
Rest In Peace
RAY CLEMENCE.

When you're Liverpools best keeper and Spurs' best keeper at the same time, that should say it all.
RIP Ray - Liverpool and England legend
As a long loyal Manchester United fan, and even having an elder brother who is a Liverpool fan (who used to rib me mercilessly during this era.. of course) - You are a part of my life just as much as Alex Stepney. I hope you forgive me for all the times I swore about you.

One of my favourites growing up. great player and great person. RIP - MCFC fan
RIP Ray will always be a goalkeeping great! Always wanted to be like Ray as a kid.
NOW.... This is who you call a legend... From a Leeds United fan.........RIP RAY ⚽🥅👍
ONE OF MY IDOLS AND RESPECTED GUYS
Yes, a superb keeper and without doubt one of the main reasons Liverpool were so successful in the 1970s. Why they sold him when he was still brilliant is beyond me. Grobelaar showed the occasional flash of brilliance but I think Clemence was far more dependable.
It wasn't Liverpool, Ray said that he felt he needed a new challenge. Hence why he left for Tottenham
Liverpool didn't want to sell Clemence, it was Clem himself that wanted to leave because he wanted a fresh challenge as he felt he couldn't do anymore with Liverpool because he had won every trophy and accolade he could in football apart from winning the BALON D`OR and the European cup winners cup

Sadly gone! An astonishing keeper! A hero to many, including myself! Rip Ray!
Class,Style,Athletics,........RIP RC1....England's number 1
The backbone and spine of the Mighty Reds. Y.N.W.A R.I.P Raymond Neal Clemence. You're in God's safe hands now 🙏
You'll always be remembered in Liverpool but also in Saint-Etienne. One of a kind. YNWA from France
Walk on with hope in your heart, and you'll never walk alone. :)
One of the best keepers ever❤️😎
Very sad news. One of the real greats. RIP
One of the true legends has gone beyond. You saved me from supporting any of the other clubs. Thank you, Clem! YNWA
The best in the world bar non for a period in the mid70's to early 80's. I'm a Newcastle fan and remember the 77/78 European cup finals well. Better than Shilton and a lot calmer as well.

I'm an Everton supporter but I just have to say that Ray Clemence was a magnificent keeper. No Neville Southall, mind, but pretty special nonetheless.
It's a sad day when a great like Ray Clemence passes. He was arguably the best of his era and was definitely my inspiration as a keeper in the 70s and as a Liverpool fan he features in so many of my favourite memories. Walk on!
ENGLAND's No'1
Radiant Ray.......both his game ......& that smile☝✊
R.I.P. Mr Ray Clemence-our greatest ever goal keeper!

RIP RAY CLEMENCE
RIP Ray Clemence
Un excellent gardien. Il avait fait deux remarquables parties
contre saint etienne.
RIP CLEM.
No wonder Ron Greenwood, then England Manager, couldnt choose between Clemence and Shilton. It's a bit like waiting for a bus, waiting ages for one then two come at the same time lol

( I know he played for Wales, but three great keepers playing in England at the same time )
Clem was a great keeper particularly at Liverpool ! Shilton was better and greenwood realised that by 82 !
Ray clemence was better than Shooting especially in the air and penalty shootout. He was dependable and those clean sheets is great

turbomacor Idiota.
In my opinion there was nothing to choose between Ray clemence and Peter shilton two brilliant keepers they were equal
R. I. P
Legend
Joan Museeuw, vous connaissez??°0)
I'm trying to find a pair of 1970s red/white Ray Clemence goalkeeping gloves, can anyone help please?
lfc and england have clemance shilton to very good keepers for years what problime two have
RIP
RIP 😭
He had catlike reflexes. Something like a handball keeper
Simon Mignolet will be the future Ray Clemence
+Ken Fox Police Not even remotely close in this or any other universe.
Raymondo was the best.
Rip
Karius will be liverpools best soon enough 💪🏼💪🏼
you may want to reconsider your career as a talent scout now :(
Loooooooooool
What goalie Ray Clemence was better than Peter Shilton, plus not wearing gloves just using his bare hands legend.
Ilisa Scott
This is the oldest video I have watched so far
rufusandbourne WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING SHILTON MILES BETTER THAN CLEMENCE RAY SHOULD HAVE GOT MORE CAP'S THAN SHILTON HE WAS A MORE NATURAL KEEPER,CONCENTRATION,HIS ALL ROUND GAME BUT ALSO THE SOUTHERN PRESS FAVOURED SHILTON BECAUSE THEY HATED LIVERPOOL.
john cunningham clemnce and shilton were both equal shilton was a line keeper
clemence was a sweeper keeper
pat jenninngs was better than both
I think they were all great keepers. Personally I'd agree Jennings was the best followed by Shilts then Clem BUT that's no disrespect. They were all top class. Can't agree with the press comment. I think the press and media have always favoured Liverpool and still do. Look @ Sky Sports ffs, it's almost Liverpool TV !!!
Pas difficile d'être meilleur que Grobelaard.
Clemence était un remarquable gardien , peut être meilleur que Shilton, plus
naturel dans ses réflexes (voir les matchs contre st étienne où il est grandiose)
Il n' était pas mauvais en équipe nationale (il avait été très bon contre l'espagne en 80)
Best Keeper of all time?
@Oddjob6120 dea gea? Haahaaa
