Ray King (footballer)

Raymond "Ray" King (15 August 1924 – 19 July 2014) was an English football goalkeeper. He made 254 league appearances in an 11-year career in the Football League. He was the younger brother of Frank and George King.

He began his career with Newcastle United, but spent World War II in the army, and also had to contend with a catalogue of injuries. After the war, he played for Leyton Orient, before injury again forced him out of the professional game. He spent time with Ashington, before making another comeback in May 1949, this time with Port Vale. He was in goal for the "Valiants" in one of the club's brightest periods, helping them to win the Third Division North title and to reach the FA Cup semi-finals in 1953–54. He won one cap for the England "B" team, and later went into management with non-league clubs Boston United, Poole Town and Sittingbourne. He later worked as a physiotherapist, and also spent time behind the scenes at Oxford United, Luton Town, Southampton.

Famous quotes by Ray King:

"The thing for us is to get out of this four-hour mess, ... and get back to our ballpark."
"I'm bitter that out of nine games, I'm pretty much a spectator, ... If I can't pitch here, then let me pitch somewhere else."
"I'll buy that [we're better], ... That doesn't mean we'll win 105 games. A lot of teams got better. But, yeah, we could be a better team."
"You add a left-handed starter like that in your five-man rotation, ... you're instantly better."
"We can't afford to lose guys now for something stupid."
"I can't worry about what's happened in April, May, June or July. I've got to better myself and get ready for October because of who we play."
"Now it's like the first time driving a stick (shift). You grind and grind until you find it. Once you find it, it's golden."
"It's been such a roller coaster this year,"
"Battle. Battle. And get the hits when we need it."
"I never lost my confidence, ... We still have always had a great deal of confidence in him."

Rocking

by: Olivia Newton-John

(Traditional Czech Carol; English lyrics by Percy Dearmer)
Hush my baby, sweetly sleep
Do not cry
I will sing a lullaby
I will rock you, rock you, rock you
I will rock you, rock you, rock you
Feel my arms that keep you warm
Snuggling around your tiny form
Precious baby, sweetly sleep
Sleep in peace
Sleep in comfort, slumber deep
I will rock you, rock you, rock you
I will rock you, rock you, rock you
Close your eyes my darling one
'Til the new day has begun
I will rock you, rock you, rock you
I will rock you, rock you, rock you
Sleep in peace 'til day has come
Darling, darling, little one
