March 1981 … Penalty save 6 and once again it’s @RayClem1 saving @LFC in Europe !! This time he saves from Markov of CSKA Sofia in the European Cup quarter final 2nd leg in a 1-0 win … Devastated when Clem left for @SpursOfficial later that year but wow what a legacy he left 🙌🏼 pic.twitter.com/S6yPJcZoQs
