Legendary Liverpool and England goalkeeper Ray Clemens has died at the age of 72 after a long illness with cancer, according to the local soccer federation.
Clemens became a three-time European club champion and a five-time English champion during his time at Anfield, and is considered one of the best goalkeepers of his time.
With the Reds, he made 470 appearances in all competitions, winning five English titles, triumphing three times in the CASH tournament and twice in the UEFA Cup. Clemens also has an FA Cup, a League Cup, a European Super Cup and five wins for Cheriti Shield.
In March 1981, Clemens participated in Liverpool’s two games against CSKA in the KESH quarterfinals. Then the Merseysiders beat Anfield 5-1 and Sofia 1-0. Then in the semifinals the English team eliminated Bayern by more goals on foreign soil (0: 0, 1: 1), and in the final they beat Real (Madrid) 1: 0.
RIP Ray Clemence 💔
