Respects to another player I remember well. Rip

[endofthenorthernline]

He was a very graceful player, made the game look so easy at times.
Rest in peace.

RIP Ray , a largely forgotten player from that era, this was when i first started to attend games and he was a class act.

[Oldun]

A superb player and unfortunately had to fight Parkinson’s disease and many other demons in life after football.
RIP Ray

RIP Ray Kennedy. A great player for two of the best club sides of the 70's and 80's.

[Puff Daddy]

To be honest, I thought he was already dead, but RIP. Good player in his day

[South African Iron]

RIP Ray, legend out here , as played for two of the favourite teams, from that era.

I thought he was a terrific keeper.

Try again, but that’s defence and goalkeeper eliminated now

When I was first going to games in the early 70’s Ray was still a young man and that makes this hit home all the more. A great midfielder with a good scoring record and in hindsight, was very underrated.
Sad news, RIP

A true and very sad story:

In about 1984, my brother and I went on one of those Soccer Skills courses that they used to do, and the celebrity coach was Ray Kennedy. He came across as very polite and a bit shy.

At the end of the training, all the kids got an autograph, and there was a fair amount of flat out moaning at how he’d signed these photos. I still remember it as clear as day as he looked visibly embarrassed at the signing.

It came out he had Parkinson’s a few years later, poor fella.

He was in fact a very cultured attacking midfield player with a great left peg.

Very much in the mould of our Trev, started as a striker ended as an elegant midfielder

[Plashet Grove Pete]

He was harder than Sir Trev - less cultured, but a truly great player nonetheless. RIP Ray.

[WestHamLyallStyle]

I had the BBC video ‘ 101 Great Goals ‘ and Ray Kennedy featured. The commentator said “ …and put into the net by Ray Kennedy with total authority.”

RIP Ray.

[York Ham(mer)]

Great player. R.I.P.

[The Old Man of Storr]

You know when you're at a funeral and you're dying to laugh......this is one of those moments .
I'll keep it in though out of respect .....


Ray Kennedy was a great player , consistent throughout his career and could always be relied on to come up with a goal .

[kenthammer]

Great player,sadly lived with Parkinsons for nearly 40 years RIP
