Fantastic goalkeeper, very unlucky that we had a glut of great keepers, so he didn't get as many caps as he deserved. |  |

Yes a great goalkeeper. I believed he was England’s best keeper at the time, but obviously there was split opinions, with the other great keeper at the time Peter Shilton. England were very lucky to have such world class quality keepers to choose from. A fantastic long career at the very top of English football as a player then coach. |  |

It was a crazy situation when Ron Greenwood was alternating between the two. Clemence was a great ambassador for the game and did ok as Barnet manager too.
RIP. |  |

Got his chance when Shilts dropped a clanger in the Wembley WC qualifier against Poland which we had to win to qualify for West Germany (seems odd saying that now) World Cup of 1974
Think he held the number one spot for a few years after that.
Was it Clem that let the ball go under him at Hamden Park for Dalglish to score a few years later ?
My memories a bit vague these days 😆 |  |

Yes it was.
Great player who to my mind pioneered the role of what we now know as the “sweeper keeper”. |  | | |

That great Liverpool team of 1970s included two players signed from lowly Scunthorpe....Clemence and Keegan with both having long England careers. | | | |

Ian Botham was the third former Scunthorpe player to captain England in the 1980's.  | |

Didn't Joe Corrigan only get maybe one or two caps because he couldn't get past both Clemence and Shilton? | | | |

Before them was Gordon Banks who was another automatic selection.
There were others as well such as Jim Montgomery, Peter Bonetti, Gordon West and Alex Stepney who may well have walked into the current England team. | | | |
