League Two club’s manager hopes to stun Sheffield United in the FA Cup, which his late father, Ray, won as a Liverpool and Spurs player
When Stephen Clemence takes to the touchline to lead Gillingham against Sheffield United in the FA Cup third round on Saturday, his mind will doubtless wander to yesteryear and the fond memories he carries of the competition. His late father, Ray, won it twice, first with Liverpool in 1974 then with Tottenham in 1982.
“I can still remember him talking in the house about wanting to get that third winner’s medal before his last FA Cup final against Coventry in 1987, so that one day he could give one to each of us kids: myself and my sisters, Sarah and Julie,” Clemence says.
