Liverpool, who will go up tomorrow for the Merseyside derby against Everton, received today (Tuesday) a painful line with the news of the death of the club's legend, Ray Kennedy, at the age of 70.
Kennedy passed away after 35 years of battling Parkinson's disease, and will be remembered as one of the Reds' standout skiers in the successful 1970s.
He made 393 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 72 goals, winning five English championships, three European Cups, the UEFA Cup and the European Super Cup - all in a period of seven and a half years at the club.
Two of Kennedy's most memorable goals were scored in the European Cup - the second goal in a 1-3 draw against Saint-Etienne in the 1977 quarter-final, and the goal against Bayern Munich in 1981 (1: 1) that sent Liverpool to the final against Real Madrid.
We are mourning legendary former player Ray Kennedy, who has passed away at the age of 70.
The thoughts of everybody at Liverpool Football Club are with Ray's family and friends at this sad and difficult time.
Rest in peace Ray, 1951-2021
