He won 61 caps for his country and three European Cups and five First Division titles with the Reds.

Former Liverpool, Tottenham and England goalkeeper Ray Clemence has died at the age of 72, the Football Association has announced.

Clemence, who won three European Cups and five First Division titles during a trophy-laden spell at Anfield, was arguably one of the greatest goalkeepers of his generation.

He won 61 England caps, which would undoubtedly have been many more had he not been competing with Peter Shilton, who accumulated 125, for the number one shirt.

Phil Thompson played with Clemence in Liverpool’s all-conquering team of the late 1970s and early 1980s winning, among many other trophies, three European Cups and five Division One titles together.

“So sorry to hear of the passing of Ray Clemence my eyes and ears as a team mate, And oh what a keeper, love to Vee and all the family YNWA,” he wrote on Twitter.

Another former Reds team-mate Ian Rush wrote on Twitter: “RIP Ray Clemence, we have lost a true legend! It was an honour to know you and to get the chance to play with you!”

Clemence is survived by his wife Veronica, son Stephen – a former player himself and now a coach – and daughters Sarah and Julie.
