RIP Ray,

Another sobering weekend.

 

[Erimus74]

Please no

He made his Spurs debut 1981 v Boro at AP
That is very sad news if true

RIP Ray Clemence

 

[The Card Cheat]

One of the best English goalkeepers of all time. Sad news

 

[Borobarmy]

Brilliant keeper . We had cracking keepers at that time with Shilton , Ray and Joe Corrigan . They’d leave current keepers standing .
RIP

 

[Canyoudigit]

Would have won a record number of caps if it wasn't for Shilton

 

[Capybara]

This is very sad news. Can anyone confirm if he was in goal for Scunthorpe at Ayresome Park in January 1967? He's listed in the programme.

 

[Erimus74]

After his football finished he went in to the media, Co-comnentator for games, he done the Boro v Sunderland game

He joined Spurs when I was living in Wood Green and getting my fix of football at White Hart Lane. Great keeper. RIP.

You know you are getting older when the icons of your youth are passing away.

Prostrate cancer. Get yourself checked.

I lost my younger brother through prostrate cancer, he had a very aggressive prostrate, although operated on he never fully recovered from the symptoms & sadly passed away 3 years later

Yes 5 years ago last week
A massive Boro fan, bigger than I am, he went away on his own if no one was going

We could field a great team and put out a great band at half time, with the players and artists who have died of late.

Clemence was an excellent goalkeeper but Shilton shaded it for me. Someone mentioned above, they would leave todays goalkeepers in their wake.

RIP- Another childhood hero.
