Considered by many to be the greatest goalkeeper in the club’s history, Clemence’s 665 games and 13 years in the first team at Anfield yielded three European Cups and five league titles among a host of major honours.
A standard-bearer for goalkeeping excellence, the former England international went on to represent Tottenham Hotspur for seven seasons when he departed Liverpool in 1981 and was respected throughout the game.
Heartfelt tributes to Clemence have been abundant following the announcement of his passing at the age of 72 and, speaking on behalf of the current first-team squad and staff, Klopp detailed the immense esteem he was held in by them.
