pongo88 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 It’s sad, but a lot of the players from my youth are no longer with us. When you’re young death seems to be a long way away but when you’re a older, like me, news like this makes you think......, In other words, enjoy life whilst you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elruliri Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Such sad news. One of the best goalkeepers of his generation. If he played today he would be England's No. 1 Rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 I can remember being very surprised when as a kid watching us play Liverpool he, unlike every other keeper, got applauded by the East End . I presumed it was because he was Peter Shiltons big rival for the England jersey and all city fans hated Shilton. I often wondered if he was surprised at getting a good reception from opposition fans when the normal was non stop abuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shilton/Clemence rivalry for the England no.1 shirt was huge & Shilton was hated because of what happened to Big Cheese. Clemence always got a rapturous reception before the game kicked off with chants of “England’s no.1”. Didn’t stop every City fan wanting him to concede when the match had started, though. RIP.

Maybe he holds the record for having the best reception at Ashton Gate for a player never to play for us.

Tipps69 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 When I seen his name as the thread title, my head just dropped & I said to myself “Oh no, he’s not gone has he?” Very sad news, a lot of players from days gone by are now leaving us on a regular basis & it’s all very sad to hear & it does now make me realise that I’m no longer young at 48!

Red Shadow Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Makes you realise just how fragile life is. Keep an eye on your health guys. Clemence had prostate cancer which is sadly so common. Get your PSA checked. I didn't even know what it was but when I went for a routine cholesterol check I was told my PSA was high. Had a biopsy but thankfully all was clear. If these things are nipped in the bud you stand a better chance of survival. Sorry to be morbid but death is all around us. Take care all.

Dr Balls Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Sad news and a real shame, especially as prostate cancer can usually be treated fairly easily if caught quickly enough. Always seemed like a nice bloke. Also kicking out of his hands he looked so languid but could basically send it to the edge of the opposition penalty area. Guardiola wouldn’t approve but that’s immediately put the other team on the back foot, possession or not! RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
