Hi edd 001, maybe it has been done previously.
Would you be able to give a little memory jog on ian rush? I ask as i was just a little young for him but know he was one of the most prolific of his time, but i never hear his name talked about in detail like a lot of others, which i find strange given his numbers.
Was he different gravy or just very good, it doesn't seem he's beloved. wanted to ask this for a long time, thanks in advance.
{Ed001's Note - different gravy mate, he was a fantastic goal scorer and the team's first line of defence. I have no idea why he gets a bit forgotten, he deserves better.}

Agreed ed001 especially when the bitters binned him off as a youngster and he made it his mission to make them pay! Boy didn't he just!

Ian Rush was absolutely fantastic, not only a record goalscorer but a workhorse as well. Never let the defenders rest. I remember a game he played against Terry Butcher, who was a great defender. He had him up the wall. I think Butcher wrote about it in his book.

The number 1 Liverpool number 9. Zero debate. His goals total for the club will never be repeated.

Rushie was an absolute machine! Could run and chase for two games at a time.

Ian Rush was levels, man. Absolute levels. As for him making the Toffees miserable as his personal mission in life, Big Divock prolly did the same thing after Funes Mori's disgraceful behaviour following that horrendous tackle.

At his peak, Rushie was the best British striker I have ever seen - bar none.

He had an impressive moustache too!

I went to watch his first game for Liverpool reserves at Anfield and said that this fella will be a great player.
I have said the same thing about Hugo Ekitike.

I remember being at the 89 FA cup final. Rush came on as a sub. Everyone knew what was going to happen next. Sorry ED25.

Never seen a cf close down players as much as Rush did, especially in those days. Some player.

The nearest to Ian Rush i would say is Harry kane but Rush was 3 levels up on Kane.
Rush would stroke the ball in to the net and when he missed a chance to score it was a talking point.
To Sum Ian Rush up, he is up there with the very very best and very little injuries.
In short world class goal scorer and much more.
