LFC & ENGLAND GOALKEEPING LEGEND 

Ray Clemence first arrived in Liverpool in 1967 and has forever been touched by the warmth, kindness & love shown towards him by the people of Liverpool.

It was here he met his wife Vee and had his 3 children Julie, Sarah and Stephen. His career has taken him all over the world…

But even when he returned to Liverpool, playing in goal for Tottenham, the reception that he received from the Kop, and the rest of Anfield, was so overwhelming and positive, it’s something he often shares with his family and is a memory which he will cherish for the rest of his life.

The mural was officially revealed Wednesday 8 October 2020 and witnessed by other LFC legends including Alan Kennedy, David Fairclough and David Johnson. Ray’s daughter Sarah Freedman also attended with her children, 4 of Ray’s grandchildren.

Granddaughter Claudia, spoke beautifully some words about her granddad.

“Ray was desperate to be here today and is devastated that his health won’t allow it. He has asked me to say a few words to say thank you.

Ray says that Liverpool Football Club will always have a massive space in his heart, to him there’s no city in the world like it.

He is so proud & grateful for this fantastic mural to be done in his honour and would like to say a huge thank you to you Marc Silver and his company, Murwalls.

“Ray is a footballing legend. MurWalls feel that it is important to pay tribute to icons like Ray, but for them to be able to see it. Lots of nice things are said about special people once they are no longer with us.
We were honoured that Ray and his family were such a big part of this tribute and delighted for Ray to have his image painted so close to the ground he loves and for the fans and people of Liverpool to enjoy every time they pass by”.
