Former Liverpool, Tottenham and England goalkeeper Ray Clemence has died at 72, the Football Association announced.
Clemence, who won three European Cups and five First Division titles during a trophy-laden season at Anfield, was arguably one of the best goalkeepers of his generation.
He won 61 games for England, which would undoubtedly have been many more had he not competed with Peter Shilton, who had 125, for the number one jersey.
Clemence, who signed £ 18,000 from Scunthorpe for Bill Shankly, was a key member of the Liverpool team that dominated Europe between 1977 and 1981, and also won two UEFA Cups, an FA Cup and the League Cup.
At Tottenham, whom he joined in 1981 at age 32 for a fee of £ 300,000, he won another UEFA Cup and another FA Cup.
Clemence is survived by his wife Veronica, son Stephen, a former player and now coach, and daughters Sarah and Julie.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of one of the greatest goalkeepers in history, Ray Clemence.
Everyone’s thoughts at Liverpool Football Club are with Ray’s family and many friends.
Rest in peace, Ray Clemence 1948-2020.
