Ray Kennedy. Liverpool ace in the Seventies. 70

He had a great career at Arsenal too.

A remarkable 6 league titles, and then Parkinson's for half his life. I remember reading sad stories about his struggles many years ago. RIP.

Such a tough player in his prime,he would get a crunching tackle & stay on his feet even in the penalty area ! much to the annoyance of Arsenal manager Bertie Mee.To go to ground was a sign of weakness to him.
He was a prolific forward with a Arsenal side in the early 1970s.Bob Paisley turned him into the wonderful midfielder that he was.
A real mystery that he only got 17 caps for England.
