Ray Kennedy

[the other bob wilson]

Died at the age of seventy. Must admit I didn’t think he’d live that long after his Parkinson’s diagnosis- classy player who was probably a better midfield player than he was a striker.

RIP

Re: Ray Kennedy

The first player I ever saw score live. Molineux November 71. I wore an Arsenal resettle that day. Arsenal were 1 up at half time. Wolves scored 5 in the second half, it snowed and I cried at the scoreline,
RIP Ray.

Arsenal were my first team. They played Reading in the FA Cup the following season and Reading gave them one hell of a game....it wasn’t much longer after that Reading became my team. I’ve never lived in Reading.

Re: Ray Kennedy

Great career he had, the double with Arsenal, then a shedload of trophies with Liverpool. Even picked up a Welsh Cup winners medal with Swansea. RIP to, perhaps, an unsung hero of that great Liverpool outfit.

Re: Ray Kennedy

I really liked that Arsenal side he played in for some reason and Kennedy in particular.
Went off him a bit when he signed for Liverpool but there was no doubting he was one of the great players of his generation.

He was a fair player too from what I can remember, unlike those dirty barstewards from across the Pennines!

Only 33 when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease bless him.

RIP Ray.

Re: Ray Kennedy

One of the best players in the league in his day. I remember Bob Paisley saying that he had more enquiries about him than any other player.

Re: Ray Kennedy

A great player in that all conquering Liverpool side. Seems bizarre he only had about 17 caps for England. RIP
