Henderson: Ray Clemence's achievements set the benchmark for us

Jordan Henderson has paid tribute to the great Ray Clemence after the legendary goalkeeper's passing last week.

Clemence was between the sticks 665 times for Liverpool during an incredible 14-year spell that saw him rack up an astonishing medal collection.

In today's matchday programme, which is dedicated to the 'keeper, club captain Henderson writes in his column: "I wasn't lucky enough to see Ray play, but over the years I have seen enough videos of him in action to understand why he has long been regarded as Liverpool's greatest ever goalkeeper.
