Ray Clemence

[life on mars]

I'm not sure about being in Shilton's shadow, Clemence and Shilton played alternatively under Ron Greenwood when he was England manager even in competitive matches because he said he genuinely couldn't say which one of them was the better. I always thought Shelton was more of a manufactured goalkeeper, while Clemence was more of a natural - what's certain is that they'd both win something like 150 caps for England if either one of them were around now.

RIP

England were blessed in that era

England were blessed in that era

They certainly were re. ‘keepers. Division One was awash with English goalies of international standard.
