Ray Kennedy - Liverpool Football Club 1974-1982 

Meet Ray Kennedy in Southport. he waited while I found a piece of paper for his autograph, with time and grace just how he played his Football. A true great. Should have played more for England.

RIP Ray from a Manchester United fan! A very classy player and a sweet left foot!

R.i.P. Ray! In April 1981, 13 years old, i visit Olympic Stadium Munich (78.000 spectators) to celebrate Bayern's victory at the semifinal re-match against LFC and reaching Eurocup-Final again after 5 years. After a 0-0 draw at Anfield, Bayern were in good hope. 7 minutes before the final whistle, Ray destroys our dream of an European Cup-winner Bayern with his away- goal, kick us out (Rummenigge's equalizer comes too late) and left the city back in sadness and agony this night. 5 weeks later, LFC-Team accomplished its mission like so many times, they beat Real Madrid 1-0 at Paris. By the way, another hero of this match was last year passing goalkeeper Ray Clemence. Never forget this evening. Great symphaty to all Liverpudlians from a Bayern Munich supporter.

One of my favourite players from the 70s and 80s. Finally free of a terrible affliction.

I’m a West Ham fan and Ray Kennedy was an all round great player with a sweet left foot, a canny football brain & a joy to watch. Life dealt him a great hand to play in that Liverpool team but his later years he didn’t deserve. Those that know great players were blessed to watch him and he was a driving force in that dominant Liverpool Era 🙏

Many people talk about how tough Souness and Case was, well no-one messed with Ray Kennedy. Not on or off the field. A big and very strong man, who knew how to look after himself. And on top of it all he was a superb footballer. One of the best players of the 70's.

Jimmy greaves described Ray Kennedy as the best player of the 70s decade....so true. Makes my all time Liverpool 11

Great tribute to a great player. It's no coincidence that Ray was a member of one of Liverpool's greatest ever teams and one of Europe's best ever. Rest in peace Ray.

RIP Ray Kennedy....one of the best left footers ive ever seen

my late Dad would come in from the pub on Sat night and together we would watch MOTD. We loved watching Ray. What a player! What goals! What lovely memories... Thankyou.

A Gooner legend,scored the winner to win us the league at the Netanyahus in 71,Arsenal legend for ever. RIP the great Ray!

a great player, fantastic touch yet very hard, Part of LFC's greatest ever midfield.

He would always be in my greatest ever Liverpool team, brilliant player. R.I.P.

Thanks for all the memories Ray.

From a Mufc fan. Rip fella great player

Wolves Fan ……loved watching him play..couldn’t work out his position,showing how well he read the game.RIP

I’m only 24 but its nice to look at our clubs history, RIP

One of the beste players on the 70's. He had so many qualities. People say Souness and Case was tough, but no-one was tougher than Kennedy.

For me Ray was one of the best midfield of Liverpool. Great player, great goals...a true Red Legend. Thanks Ray and YNWA

RIP Ray..Thank you!!!

Saw him once in 81 v Arsenal in league cup replay at Anfield aged 14 ,I feel privileged . What a great footballer . RIP superstar

What a fantastic footballer. Just seemed to glide across the pitch.

RIP Ray, such a great player

I posted 11 days ago. But what a fuckin’ fitbaw player. Absolutely peerless. I’m 60 and he’s still one of my favourite ever fitbaw players. I get goosebumps when I watch him. Complete player. Runs the engine room, scores, defends, chases you couldn’t ask for a better example for these young players to watch today.

Bob- "If you find yourself in front of goal, just score and we'll talk about your options afterwards". RIP Ray.

Remember watching him as a young lad, always stood out as player to me. He seemed so smooth and silky on the ball and made other players look clumsy in comparison. One of my favourite players even though Celtic is my first love. YNWA Ray.

Had the pleasure of seeing ray Kennedy play in his pomp ......if pogba is worth £80 odd million.......Kennedy is double that an absolute midfield dynamo .....box to box ....tough in the tackle .....very underrated....proper player

RIP! Great player. Prayers from 🍀

Rip Ray another brilliant player and another childhood hero of all football fans you gave us some amazing memories ❤

Classy player shame there wasn't as much football on TV back then but it didn't stop you noticing his quality. Part of a special era at Liverpool.

I have a broken heart, RIP

Such a gentleman RIP Ray

he was pure class

Rest in peace Ray ❤️

Superb player in a superb team

Big strong Ray was a legend. Fearless and fearsome. Graeme Souness once said the sheer size of him put fear into opponents. And what skill! He would definitely be in my all-time greatest Liverpool XI. People rave about Gerrard, but Ray was in a different class.

Rip legend. From a Leicester fan

Proper footballer ray 🌟

Ray Kennedy .. one of the greatest Liverpool midfielders and most underrated... Scored in important European matches.... 1976 final Vs brugge and most importantly 1981 European cup semis against Bayern when dalglish and souness went off injured

Part of arguably our greatest ever midfield. Legend.

Remember him from a time when football was interesting. Beautiful, wonderful footballer. How much would he be worth today?

class player..

RIP Ray.

Great player , forgot how quick he was !

As a left footed kid in the early 70's I always wanted to be Peter Lorimer (Leeds fan)but Ray Kennedy was a close second. What a player.

RIP Ray

Good guy, Bob paisley, 😭😭😭😢

Ray Kennedy has never been one of the best Liverpool players for me. He was the best player. Watch Bayern semifinal goal. What a cool customer .

God Bless Ray

I remember souness saying how much the European clubs feared Kennedy.

RIP

RIP Ray, YNWA

RIP Ray Kennedy...a true red Legend...YNWA

Some great players do class things but don't like the other side of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo the perfect example. Ray. Kennedy in his prime would be perfect for a klopp side because of his football intelligence and like every player in that great Liverpool team of 70 they worked like mad. Imagine these players with today's sport science, the warm down back then was a few pints and a fish and chips or a Chinese takeaway. RIP Ray Kennedy YNWA JFT97

Bob paisley said 'he was so gifted he could open a tin can with his left foot"

Preferatul meu din campionatul englez

Very sad that he died so young. What would he be worth nowadays. I only ever saw highlights of him play but my guess is at least 60m

Really sad news , was quite disgusted when I heard he had to sell his medals to fight Parkinson’s desease..You only have to look at Rob burrows to see we wouldn’t have let that happen cos we look after our own...I know the players were not as rich them but surely after all those special European nights the club would have stepped in...Rip lad, Leeds fan🇬🇧

Sad news about Ray,

🕊🕊🕊🔴🔴🔴

Pourquoi Arsenal s'en est séparé ?

Gr8 to See Kennedy Score against Arsenal his former Club and celebrate like normal his goal...this PC bull where they don't celebrate is total BS ..if u feel that bothered then why did u leave

79 goal for a mildfielder...too hard for a striker to achiece, never mind a left-sided mildfielder.

Perdeu pro Flamengo

RIP Ray, a truly great player
