Football's Greatest - Ian Rush

[@UlfEriksen-c4r]

Best striker I have seen till this date.

[@worstalentscout]

you haven't seen Gabriel Batistuta ?.........the striker that can do EVERYTHING very well.........

[@Bonesfc]

I totally agree, mate

[@worstalentscout]

@@Bonesfc .........Batistuta was the best all-round striker i've ever seen..........scandal-free and loyal too........

[@soothsayer9216]

His greatest asset was the ability to use both feet, this opened up so many angles to goal, making it virtually impossible for the goalkeepers to read.

[@NonyaBizzniss]

One of the best to ever do it. It feels like he is so underrated. He made finishing to look so easy.

[@darrenwessman3827]

Deffo not underrated at Anfield. He's a genuine legend....another word that's used too readily these days. SMH

[@mikeelliott886]

The irony of saying he's underrated on a video literally titled "Footballs Greatest" !

[@anthonymooney8636]

From 83/87 he was the best striker in the world

[@andrewyates2618]

Not a Liverpool fan but Ian Rush was a phenomenal striker one of the greatest to grace the game

[@joacimnieminen]

During my teens, Rushie was immense, scoring with both feet and heading them in for good value. WHAT A PLAYER, legend and truly humble gentleman. HE will never walk alone!

[@Travoltaaaaa]

I once had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with Big Nev Southall. Just the two of us (it was a work thing). Brilliant bloke! Thing is, I'm a Red. And when I asked, "so did you hate Rushie?" he gave me a big grin and replied "course not! He's a top fella". But then something in his eyes told me not to ask much more about Ian Rush. What a tussle those two had. LEGENDS.

[@joeymcloughlin6123]

Back when the FA cup was magical....

[@philipboyd7692]

He broke my Evertonian heart in 1986 and av never recovered 😢But hats off too a Legend of the Game one of the best il ever see sticking the ball in the Net🤝

[@ACAB19032]

Liverpool' greatest striker. What a player 💪🏽 ❤

[@1860mc]

If you weren't born in that era, it's hard to describe what an absolute forward he was. His reputation was massive in his prime, and he lived up to it. Not a great dribbler or all-around player, but you put him on, and he's going to destroy you. Probably among the greatest finishers ever to play.

[@meisterlymanu5214]

massive in Uk. No one ever heard of him in S America. He wouldnt get into the top 100 strikers of all time.

[@Travoltaaaaa]

​@@meisterlymanu5214 There are PLENTY in South America who know the legend that is Ian Rush. But unlike you, they're football fans.

[@Weareeverything2023]

One of the best finishers I have ever seen in the last 55 years, so consistent. As an LFC fan I always thought the team would win when he played, total class.

[@wobblertv8083]

Not only a killer in front of goal ...one of the great defensive strikers he never gave the opposition centre halfs a minutes rest when they were in possession.

[@deletebilderberg]

Aye. Rushy was doing the hard press before the hard press was invented!

[@mkrbrtsn1]

Yeah, I watched him on the Kop every week and he constantly harassed defenders, back when the goalie could pick up a back pass.

[@theycantallbezodiac]

A great point, first line of defence

[@Tres_Nueve]

​@@deletebilderberg "press" has always existed, we used to call it "closing down"

[@jamesfulton8251]

Ian Rush was fantastic, right enough he had some wonderful players around him then, Souness, Dalglish, Wheelan, wee Sammy Lee, to name a few, plus the manager's were always top notch,.

[@redtill1]

I started supporting lfc in 77 & was lucky enough to witness ian rush from beginning to end .......that hat trick at an icy villa park ...left foot volley,header & the right foot lob over the goalie.The man just can not be stopped.A legend of the club who sits @ the top tabel.

[@RoyHodgson97]

Now that's a proper striker👍Goals scoring machine with both feet and his head. Humble and just a really nice man. YNWA Rushie

[@waltergordon4682]

I watched him play a few times at ANFIEALD how much would he be worth today wot a player absolutely brilliant and all round defender as well one of the GREATS OF FOOTBALL .

[@mrz6393]

Anfield

[@redtill1]

I was a 12 year old Liverpool supporter when Rushy joined the club & I can’t tell you how much Hope happiness belief & pure joy this man bought into my life …… that famous line….. Ian Rush,the man just can not be stopped!!!

[@steverobinson6730]

standing on a barrrier leaning on a kop roof support every saturday as a young kopite watching Liverpool in the 80's kenny and rushie the whole team and place was the centre of the universe hands down , i walk in a humle life now knowing i was blessed in the chapel of ANFIELD

[@PaulEvans-pk7nz]

Inspirational. One of the commentators in the 86 FA cup final made an observation during the match (after Rush's equaliser I think) that at the time "Liverpool have never lost a match in which Ian Rush has scored". And while he netted some gloriously spectacular long range and first time volleys, the third goal in that final sums it up for me : supernatural speed and ability to be in the right place at exactly the right time and the skill to take advantage of it - he was involved in starting the counter inside his own half, yet somehow outran everyone to be placed to receive the final cross, then calmly, decisively and precisely rifling it home.

[@Nubian1000]

Ian Rush is by far my favorite Liverpool player of all time.

[@mr786xcx]

And that ladies and gentleman is the Liverpool legend Ian Rush. What a player! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@davidmiller7771]

You cannot learn a born striker anything , it is a gift they have without trying , a telepathic awareness and understanding with his team mates , his ability to make defenders look stupid , and above all his strike rate . the ultimate goal machine .

[@DanceySteveYNWA]

Nonsense. Nobody ever improves at anything without learned and continued practice

[@enlightenedone7141]

He was THE best striker and finisher I've ever seen, part of that fantastic Liverpool team of the 80's which I idolised a kid!!!

[@chugmeister1180]

could read the offside line perfect a magnificent striker. Him and jimmy greaves were the best clinical

[@svavar82]

People's memories are so poor or their lack of learning history, that's why majority of people don't mention how amazingly great Ian Rush was, how fast he was, his quick wit and reading of the game, he deserves more people looking at his career to see how incredibly good he was. He was the best striker in the world for more years than Luis Suarez or Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer.

[@mr786xcx]

Agreed 💯

[@joschan18]

Ian Rush is the BEST !!

[@johnmason9286]

Leeds fan here rush was the striker in this country he was deadly and the other teams wear scared of him wat a legend he's up there with the best of bristish players thank you rushy

[@craig7555]

Being from his home town of flint Ian rush is still the best striker this country has ever seen or likely to see

[@Harrier20153]

He is a player that my late father is very fond of, of course Liverpool and I at that time I was 12 years old still supporting Everton only in 1997 I supported Liverpool because of Michael Owen until now I love Liverpool very much 🥰

[@TheXJRMAN]

Watching this just after Jurgen announced he was leaving. He joins these people as true greats of LFC, adding to it's great history, he would have loved Rush.

[@Red-Revolution708]

What a striker the greatest Liverpool ever had.

[@PeterOHalloran-hf2ho]

One of the all time greats Ian a legend in a super time from that era

[@gazb34]

Joe fagan did not resign because of Heysel. He let it be known in March of that year, that he was retiring at the end of the season.

[@T_J_]

I'm a Spurs fan but always respected Ian Rush. He was one of those strikers who went cold in front of goal. He's one of those players that would still thrive in the modern game. Was lucky enough to meet him once. A class act.

[@anthonystark5412]

As a young LFC supporter in the 80"s, I struggled to come to terms with Aldridge taking Rushie's place. It makes sense now.

[@raymondambrose6324]

The moustachioed maestro. I remember listening to the game on the radio when I was round my nan and grandads as a child on radio city sport in the mid to late eighties. I always remember Clive tyldsley commentating and his famousl line was ‘it’s there, you’ve guessed it, Ian rush’. The biggest compliment I can pay Rushdie is I can’t ever remember him missing a chance when playing for Liverpool. Absolute master marksman ⚽️⚽️⚽️

[@MrCocky73]

4 out of his 346 goals were pens...truly a great

[@enlightenedone7141]

Not like the massively overrated Kane!!!

[@iainmair485]

Rush, Hughes, Saunders, Ratcliffe, Giggs, Southall. How did that Welsh team not qualify for any tournaments?

[@aldozilli1293]

Because they were the only decent ones. And if one was injured they were stuffed as noone else could come in and do a job.

My all time best striker ever, growing up as a kid on Ian Rush. Posters on my wall. I saw his 4 goals at Everton and the 86 FA cup. Brilliant. 346 goals!

[@papanoel3999]

Probably the reason I support Liverpool Fc. I was always Rushie when playing footy in the garages or at school...

[@masteryoda498]

It’s a shame Wales never qualified for a World Cup during Ian Rush’s legendary career, he would have done some serious damage. But what a great striker Ian Rush was, and he played a huge role in that great Liverpool team that ruled English football in the 1970’s and 80’s with an iron fist.

[@colmlawlor4203]

Dreams come true Everton payed big time for not recognising his potential ❤️🤣🤣🤣Rushie a fecking football legend what a baller 💚🇮🇪💯⚽👏🙏 YNWA

[@gmain1977]

Rush best British striker of my life time then Shearer. Him or Greaves best British foward. As a Liverpool fan him Barnes and Beardlsey attacking was my youth

[@GarryLamb-y3m]

In my opinion. Best Striker in world football. Made Maradona look like a beginner. Just like Kenny Dalglish made Maradona look like a beginner. Now let's see all the Argentina so called " football experts " whinge about my comment. Personally I couldn't care less. Rush, Dalglish didn't run on drugs, dive or punch balls into the net.

[@LyndaLlewellyn]

That goal at 6.14 immense

[@creativitycell]

I hope Ollie Watkins has watched Rush videos! Ollie misses so may 50-50 chances, Rush never missed even hard ones! Most cminical striker ive ever seen in 45 years! Rush, Marco Ban Bestwn, Peak Milan Shevchenko! Thats it! U dont get better. Top elite tier strikers. Every time Ollie Watkins has ball in front of goal, I'm riddled with anxiety fingers crossed! He's too nice! Great lad though! 😂😮

[@tompan897]

The greatest

[@j.j.911]

The original Robbie Fowler. So underrated.

[@theycantallbezodiac]

2 completely different players

[@deletebilderberg]

Rushy would score 50 goals a season in the current Liverpool team. Everything he was, Nunez isn’t!!

[@JuicyJLee]

Why must you bring down another man to praise another. Nunez is where he is because he is hard working and he will improve

[@johnpatterson6448]

Is Rushie talking to Nuñez. I feel he could really coach him

The Welsh Lewandowski.

Nah! Lewandowski is the Polish Rush.

[@ianlamb2123]

What a god.

[@simonsuddons5214]

Radcliffe was correct. Best striker from UK ever. Did not even takes pens. Just too good and quick for defenders. With him in the team, you just knew you most likely win. The best bar none.

[@lescorlett4133]

Darwin needs to be sat down and made to watch Rushie.

[@MinisterManDan]

Finding out he was an Evertonian as a lad and our guys turned him down is a real vomit inducer.

[@svavar82]

That Juventus penalty was one of if not the biggest disgrace in football history, when the guy went down he was 3-4 meters outside of the box, no wonder the crowd went crazy. Juventus have a long history of bribery and corruption, people don't realize how far back that history goes. I forgive Ian Rush's ignorance of Juventus's corrupt club and going there, he had no clue how deeply corrupt they were and are.

[@boots2926]

Easily, easily the best striker the uk has ever produced. I just wish he'd been Scottish.

[@churn_diesel]

[@frozen1762]

Regarding his national team regrets...I wonder how good Great Britain team would be in the mid/late 80s... you would have Rush, Lineker, Beardsley and Mark Hughes as forwards. But I'm not from Britain and don't know is it a political question and how would people take it back then.

[@Mil-w6d]

He was just brilliant. You knew he would score. And so quick. Saw him close down defenders against QPR and create panic
