General Ray Clemence RIP

great keeper and won loads of trophies in his time. RIP
 
An era of great goalkeepers through my youth for England with him, Shilton and Joe Corrigan. Also Pat Bonner for Ireland
 
Another victim of prostrate cancer. It can be detected early enough to do something about it, just get yourself tested. Granted, the test is not 100% reliable but, if there is any history in your family, then it is worthwhile getting more information.

 
Clemence was a very good keeper and I remember the England manger at the time, maybe Ron Greenwood, used to alternate him and Shilton. Ridiculously weak management as Shilton was undoubtedly the better keeper but not Clemence‘s fault and he amassed a good number of caps because of it.

RIP.
 
What a sh!t year 2020 has been - in recent weeks we’ve lost Sean Connery, Bobby Charlton,
Nobby Stiles, John Sessions, Des O’Connor and now Clem :(
