This weeks legend we go back in time. And because of the Champions League it is fitting that this man gets the Legend tag. I remember wen I was a lity. 6-7 and my connections sent me the Crown Paints kit from London. Used to wear it everyday and I used to watch Ian Rush. When I got back from Euro 96, my cousin Sir Ish gave me the video. "LIVERPOOL TEAM OF THe DECADE.". And if you watch that video You will see Ian Rush in his prime. There was no better striker than the Welshman. He was clinical, accurate and deadly from the six yard box. IL never forget the one FA CUP final when Liverpool cam from a goal down and won 3-1 against Everton. Those were the days. You walk out of your house half time and all the other litys got bricks, made poles and we had our own FA Cup. It was a long time ago and the tragedy at Heysel prevented this man from being great in Europe. But Ian Rush was a striker. I wonder what the boys from the KOP will have to say about this choice. I will put a video tonight but IAN RUSH IS DEFINITELY A LEGEND THAT SHOOK THE BLOG. And when the moustache was there he was even deadlier..

I think If Rush had more exposure in Champios league he would have been worthy. What a player.One of the players that shook the Kop for Sure

Fair enough Ian Rush was a quality striker, perhaps legendry to Liverpool fans, but how dare you even think he could be in the class of Ronaldo. Ronaldo has won world cups, Champions Leagues, leagues, Player of the year awards and he scores at every club he goes to.
ReplyDeleteGoal poacher of note. Same like Van Nistelrooy of today's times. But he aint no legend.
ReplyDeleteto the oke comparing him to Ronaldo da Lima, mate you need your head checked out?
Azee & Biggy, If Rush was allowed more gameplay in Europe like Swoosh says, How would you rate him then?
ReplyDeleteRonaldo want banned or his team wasnt banned......
Iron Rush
Rushie is a true legend...
ReplyDeleteHis attacking partnership with Kenny Dalglish at Liverpool is regarded as being one of the greatest and most successful in the history of English and European football
Ronaldo was good at Barcelona.
