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.
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🤝
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!
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.
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,.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Seen Ian live at Old Highbury what player. Lighting speed he was at on right hand side of the square. Suddenly he disappeared on scored on the left what. Great man and player
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.
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 .
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 .
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 🥰
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
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.
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! 😂😮
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.
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.

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.
Rushi was the best when he scored you knew we would win first time we lost was arsenal 1987 against arsenal in the littlewoods cup final the jammie sods 😂😂
Its baffling to me how someone would support Everton? You normally pick your team about 6/8 years old so you don't choose it on location or loyalty just the team that stands out to you so i can't understand anyone choosing Everton? The only reason must ne family fircing them to support them? Always makes me laugh when people say why dyer support that team you dont even live there and im like "i was 6 i didn't even really know where i fing lived" also if people want to be strict about it even people from Everton have closer teams to support
My dad supports Everton. Mercifully...he and my Liverpool supporting mum divorced when I was aged just six and this potentially spared me the ignominy of being an Evertonian. My stepdad went to Rome 1977, Wembley 1978, and Paris 1981 to see Liverpool win their first three European Cups. But I never want to see Everton relegated because of my dad. He lives in the flat above mine and he lets me watch all the Liverpool matches that are live on Sky Sports in his flat. He gets annoyed when I eff and blind during matches and puts up with a fair amount of profanity from me when Liverpool are on the telly live.
Best striker I have seen till this date.
Not a Liverpool fan but Ian Rush was a phenomenal striker one of the greatest to grace the game
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.
Ian Rush Ian Rush Ian Ian Rush when he gets that ball he scores a goal Ian Ian Rush Ian Ian Rush Ian Ian Rush 🕺🕺🐐the best striker there ever will
From 83/87 he was the best striker in the world
Back when the FA cup was magical....
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🤝
One of the best to ever do it. It feels like he is so underrated. He made finishing to look so easy.
Underated by who mate ? 🙏97
@@darrenwessman3827 It's a word kids use for anyone playing before their time.
@@keithbentley6081 😂😂😂👍
Deffo not underrated at Anfield. He's a genuine legend....another word that's used too readily these days. SMH
The irony of saying he's underrated on a video literally titled "Footballs Greatest" !

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!!!
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.
Aye. Rushy was doing the hard press before the hard press was invented!
Yeah, I watched him on the Kop every week and he constantly harassed defenders, back when the goalie could pick up a back pass.
A great point, first line of defence
@@deletebilderberg "press" has always existed, we used to call it "closing down"
could read the offside line perfect a magnificent striker. Him and jimmy greaves were the best clinical
Ian Rush is the BEST !!

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

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

massive in Uk. No one ever heard of him in S America. He wouldnt get into the top 100 strikers of all time.
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 .
Anfield
Rush, Hughes, Saunders, Ratcliffe, Giggs, Southall. How did that Welsh team not qualify for any tournaments?
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.
@@aldozilli1293 You don’t need a team of superstars to qualify for a tournament.
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 .
Nonsense. Nobody ever improves at anything without learned and continued practice
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 🥰
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.
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
One of the all time greats Ian a legend in a super time from that era
One of the best finisher
Ian rush best player goal scorer I ever saw
Once of the best ever. How much would he would be worth now?
Rushy legend respect ✊ 🫡 ❤YNWA
Great striker. But look at the team he had around him, especially Daglish alongside him.
4 out of his 346 goals were pens...truly a great
Not like the massively overrated Kane!!!
Imagine what he would be worth if he was playing today...
Makes rooney haaland kane and co look silly
Rush....Goal. he's got more records than HMV
They've got none
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.
An absolute legend!
Only Jimmy Greaves was a better british centre forward but its close
Probably the reason I support Liverpool Fc. I was always Rushie when playing footy in the garages or at school...
Strange that the lead into this shows Rush scoring against yet he didn’t score against them until near the end of his career
I can only simply say THANK YOU. Cannot think of any other words
Rushy would score 50 goals a season in the current Liverpool team. Everything he was, Nunez isn’t!!
Why must you bring down another man to praise another. Nunez is where he is because he is hard working and he will improve
Is Rushie talking to Nuñez. I feel he could really coach him
Mr. Ian Rush ... Big hug and love with big respect from you're fans in Indonesia. ❤❤❤ (O.m.g i lost my word) i wish u in good health sir 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏 🤭🤦😂😁
One of the best ever goal scorers for sure. I am also a cycling fan so it was funny hearing Neds dulcet tones on this video.
I was wondering why I liked the music. Tour soon, Yay!
A true legend
The greatest

Ian Rush is a legend if Rush was playing we always had a chance of winning I loved him as a kid my 1st proper hair cut I want it like Ian Rush 😂😂
Would love one about Keegan or Beardsley.
So this one is nonsense ?
Darwin needs to be sat down and made to watch Rushie.
The Welsh Lewandowski.
Nah! Lewandowski is the Polish Rush.
Legend
My Era, HATED HIM .... being a BLUE !😉 Looking back, GREAT PLAYER!
My favorite EPL SRIKER of ALL eras.
The original Robbie Fowler. So underrated.

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

There's a message from Rushie for Darwin Núñez *_and_* for his critics. 😉
Camel cigarette advertising @0:43
Wow! The world was different back then. 😲
The most Scouse looking Scouser that ever lived.
From Wales lol

Some fans wants firmino or mane back..bcoz they missed them so much..i say bring back ian rush stevie G back as well..😂😂😂
He was just brilliant. You knew he would score.
And so quick. Saw him close down defenders against QPR and create panic
We were robbed in that 84 final; Liverpool got lucky.
Only if we had a Mr Ian at Arsenal ATM I’m pretty sure we’d have (ATVL) 6pts more pts. Conjecture……
To be honest if he WAS ENGLISH HE BE PUT ON HIGH ON THE BEST EVER LIST.
Imagine if he took the penalties...he'd be outta sight!

I didn’t know Ringo Starr played for Liverpool FC ?
Liverpool the best city in the world
Another reason why there should of been a BRITISH team.
How many Liverpool greats grew up supporting Everton? 😂😂😂
3:00, 16:18 Thank God he didn't go to united
how was Phil Thomson not bullied for his dinner money everyday!?
And Kevin Keegan?
Ghost
@prometheustv6558 In truth, Keegan was never forgiven for asking to leave in late 76. Additionally he was NEVER asked to manage Liverpool.
Would just love it
Different type of player. Keegan was great no doubt but as a pure no9/finisher Rush was better
who was better rush v shearer
Rush ❤❤❤
He should come teach Nunez how to score
you could teach a donkey to score before nunez. Rush
You carnt teach that.! You've either got it or you haven't. Nunez just has to work harder on his goal scoring he has everything else...
Francis scully was nearly as good
