Ray Clemence, The Best Goalkeeper in Liverpool History Until Today



In this season, kita dapat lihat degrading performance by Reina as our number one goalkeeper. Maybe this is due to lack of competitive for number one spot that can really challenge Reina. In other words, Reina ‘terlalu selesa’ dengan status beliau sebagai our first goalkeeper. Brendan should really concerns with Reina performance, to be in top 4 position, we need to have a really good goalkeeper. Why this issue should be imperative for Brendan? As we all know, goalkeeper is the last line of defence, the team really need to have a solid wall that can prevent from anything that can go through this last wall. Remember Ray Clemence? He is the best goalkeeper in the history of Liverpool FC with total of 665 appearances!. This has shown to us that he was indeed a reliable goalkeeper during Liverpool golden era. He was signed by Bill Shankly in 1967 and his career with Liverpool was until 1981. For 14 years, he can retain his position as number one goalkeeper during that era with consistency and outstanding performance for almost in every match (This source I get during my research on Liverpool FC golden era in 70s and 80s). I hope every Liverpool goalkeeper has to watch back the performance by Ray Clemence to motivate them on how crucial to follow the step of senior Liverpool goalkeeper.  During his career with Liverpool, dia dah dapat merasai genggaman piala Champion of Division One league (Today`s known as Premier League)  5 times, European Cup 3 times, UEFA cup 2 times, FA Charity Shield 5 times, FA cup 1 times, League cup 1 times and UEFA Super Cup 1 times. Superb track records!
