Ian Rush was Liverpool’s greatest goalscorer, a lean, predatory striker whose movement and finishing brought an avalanche of goals through the 1980s and beyond. Deadly in one-on-one situations and relentless in his pressing, he was the spearhead of a dominant side that swept up league titles and European Cups.
A Welsh international, he had a brief, unhappy spell in Italy with Juventus before returning to Anfield to resume scoring, and remains the club’s record marksman.
