Ray Kennedy – Arsenal Legend – R.I.P.

Ray Kennedy played upfront as a key player in the 1971 Double winning Arsenal team, an Arsenal Legend. Ray scored in the first leg of the Fairs Cup final in 1970 and also scored the winning goal that clinched the league title at White Hart Lane in the 1971 Double Year. A colossus of a striker for Arsenal who later became a midfielder for Liverpool, he won every domestic honour in the game in the 1970s and early 1980s.
