He won 61 caps for England in his illustrious career, and by the end of his playing days he had served in the international organization for 17 years.

Clemens is a true legend of the English game – and undeniably one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of the game – and has been paid tribute to him since before his first home game in England.

The three Lions are wearing black armor for the Nations League match against Iceland, and a ‘Clemens 1’ shirt was placed behind one of Wembley’s goals before the kick-off.

Current England keepers Jordan Pickford, Nick Pope and Dean Henderson – along with goalkeeper coach Martin Marketense – posed before tying the jersey.
