Ive been following liverpool for over 50 years now, and Ray Kennedy would be in my greatest reds 11. Scored some of the most important goals in our clubs history. Wonderful player.
I'm a Manchester United fan and I watched a lot of Ray Kennedy, a majestic player a scorer of great and important goals, not particularly quick. But skillful and hard and an assassin in the penalty box. RIP 🙏🏼 Ray Kennedy, truly great player.
Yeah I get your point if your saying he wouldnt be fast in today's game. 100% As for In 70s and 80s please if you look at his goals where he has been fast enough not to be caught by defenders who APPARENTLY was faster .He had enough speed to do the job I believe even ZIDANE Dalglish Molby wouldn't have been as fast as Kennedy they had football brain to be 2 moves ahead. We know wouldn't have had a lot of speed others had but Bob PAISLEY saw him as a complete player.
@@erniescullion8452 as you stated he was quick enough for the game in 70s and 80s, however like Kenny the first 5 yards were in his head. One thing is having pace but knowing when and where to use it is paramount and I think Ray Kennedy would have been OK in today's game because he had a clear picture in his mind of what he wanted to do and how he wanted to do it.
Superb player who never overcomplicated things and played it as he saw it. Many years since ive seen the two goals against us ( Bolton) in the Burnden mud too. Lively compilation for a superb player. RIP.
He won a league & cup double with Arsenal, then a league & UEFA cup double, a league & Champions cup double, a League cup and Champions cup double, plus another Champions cup and two more league titles with Liverpool. He was integral to so many of these achievements, and yet almost no one ever thinks of him when considering the all-time greats of English football. Ray was so under-rated, it should be a crime.
Another fantastic collection. Great to see Ray’s magnificent crashing right-footed half volley on the run against Bristol City at Ashton Gate and, though I could be wrong because it’s a goal I’ve never seen before, the one he scored against Arsenal in the League Cup semi final first leg at Anfield in 1978.
Great watch - what a player off of both feet. A real hero of mine growing up and I wasn't a Liverpool or Arsenal fan. Some other observations: Muddy pitches, pitch invasions that the commentators don't even comment on and not even the thought of a goal celebration.
Ray Kennedy if little boys growing up ever wanting to have a role model footballer it's this fella a true red legend and what a player one of my idols RIP Ray
What a terrific football player. He is so often in the right place at the right time. And apart from being a magnificent midfielder, he regards scoring goals as part of his job, so celebrating it overmuch doesn't occur to him.
Should’ve had over 80 England caps in my opinion the player of the 70s when you look what he achieved and change of position when he arrived at Liverpool he was an absolute rolls-Royce of a footballer
Had amazing balance and was one our greatest players .in one mega quarter final against Arsenal ,Don Howe highlighted Ray Kennedy as Liverpool's danger man and was man marked in all four games. Ray was in the top five players I have seen in a Liverpool shirt
Also an Arsenal legend for the older supporters. Another great we let go.....but he went to the club of the seventies and won everything a player could want.
Rest easy Ray He was really let down down by Liverpool Arsenal and the PFA,Having to sell your caps and medals just to keep your head above water is sad and disgraceful
P.S. I’d typed the previous comment before I’d even watched this. My apologies, even so Ray Kennedy was and still is a Liverpool Legend regardless. YNWA RAY not in our hearts anyway. R.I.P.
I’m not sure.? But was Ray Ray Ray Ray Kennedy Bill Shankly’s last signing for Liverpool, if so what a lovely present to Bob Paisley, who I may had the foresight to convert Ray into one of the Classiest midfielders in Europe. Take Care Upstairs - Big Fella. ❤️ YNWA
Highlight reel of a footballer, did everything effortlessly and you could see the respect for him others had. Illustration of how badly managed England were through the mid to late 70s that he won so few caps.
What did Paisley say? That the one player the top European clubs kept coming in for was Ray Kennedy, that’s how good he was, a magnificent footballer. Jimmy Cases’ best mate.
How could one not return, on this sad evening, to this wonderful collection of goals by Ray Kennedy? RIP.
only 17 caps for England ... ridiculous
Ive been following liverpool for over 50 years now, and Ray Kennedy would be in my greatest reds 11. Scored some of the most important goals in our clubs history. Wonderful player.
Loved watching him and Terry Mac as a kid, he scored so many vital goals and looked so cool doing it.
Never to be forgotten
RIP YNWA
What a fearsome midfield that was in the late 70s. Kennedy, Souness, McDermott and Case. Almost unplayable.

What a player Ray was! His left peg was a magic wand 🪄. Scored many memorable goals.
Ray was pure class, wonderful footballer RIP
RIP Legend. From a Leicester fan

Thanks. You're right about the Arsenal goal. There is a list of the goals in the description, but maybe I ought to have included the competitions.
I was at Ashton Gate for that half volley. Was one of the greatest goals I have ever seen. RIP Ray Kennedy

Rip Ray Kennedy, played in an era that really defined skill and technique...he had it all, no wonder he stirred pitch invasions.

Why Ray four times?
That was his song from the Kop, to the tune of Sha La La La Lee by Small Faces, as per the intro music on the video.
12:28 A beautiful team goal in any era.
Legend RIP ⚽️❤️

What a player!!
03:03 look at that absolutely mania at Molyneux
Love Ray Kennedy a Prince
What would Ray Kennedy be worth today..?
Name a figure and I'll treble it. He was that good.
I’ve just realised Bob Paisley says just this later on in the video ……🥴🥴😅
What did Paisley say? That the one player the top European clubs kept coming in for was Ray Kennedy, that’s how good he was, a magnificent footballer. Jimmy Cases’ best mate.
Player!
The ultimate attacking midfielder, sadly Parkinson's was the only thing that could beat him 🙏🙏
Those thighs man, big ray was some boy
Ray and Jimmy Case were drinking buddies ….they had to be split up….shame.
Terrific player. RIP Ray/
