Ian Rush

Ian Rush is a Liverpool legend and one of the greatest strikers to ever wear the famous red shirt. He is the all-time record goalscorer at Anfield, with 346 goals in 660 games.

Rush had two spells at Liverpool from 1980 to 1996, spending one year in between at Juventus. After 1996, the Welshman spent a couple of years at other Premier League clubs before his playing days started dwindling.

After a season at Leeds United, Rush moved to Newcastle United in 1997. He linked up with Kenny Dalglish, who was managing the Toon Army at the time. Rush failed to score in the league, but got a couple of big goals in the cup competitions.

Not known for much else in his club career, Rush has cemented an incredible legacy at Merseyside and remains a key figure for the Reds in global events. He was even the player-manager for the Liverpool Legends in their charity game against the AC Milan Legends.
