Synonymous with those great Liverpool sides of the 70's ... and a bit of a legend for most football followers growing up in those days.

RIP

He battled Shilton for years to have the England #1 shirt,what we could do with either of them these days other than the shite we have in that 1 shirt.

His Liverpool days were just before my time watching football but I remember him playing for Spurs.

A definite legend & but for Shilton would've been England's regular No.1.

RIP

[grinder]

For me I always thought he was slightly better than Shilton - more athletic and quicker though Shilts went on too long -lots of You Tube Vids for those that havent seen him

About 10s in....RIP no age

He was miles better than anything we have today.

Anybody remember that episode of a programme called " The Big Time " ? It was about a scouse amateur footballer who got to play a half in Tommy Smith's testimonial at Anfield. The other players contrived to win a penalty in front of the Kop for the lad to take. Clemence was in goal and he rained on the lads parade by saving the pen. I thought that was a bit un necessary, it would have been easy to dive out of the way of the ball.

I think it was the series were Sheena Easton was discovered as a singer.

The Big Time. The guy was called Lol Cottrell, a decent amateur but well out of his depth. Tommy Smith took him under his wing for that programme as i recall.
