Rushie returns

Ian Rush has re-signed for Liverpool, with the Reds legend becoming the Club's new Soccer Schools Ambassador.


Rush, still Liverpool's record goalscorer with 346 strikes in 660 games and now a qualified UEFA pro licence holder, will also work with the Club's commercial team to help develop and support partnerships with other global sponsors and brands.

Ian Ayre, Liverpool FC Commercial Director, said:  "Rushie is one of the best known names in world football and I'm delighted he's agreed to work with us.  We've invested heavily in the redevelopment of our Soccer Schools business and with his help intend to roll out a global franchising opportunity within the next 12 months. 

"We are already in discussion with a number of interested organisations around the world and Ian will work closely with our dedicated team of executives in developing these Soccer Schools opportunities."

Rush said: "I'm thrilled to be involved with the club again and hope the contacts I already have in the football and coaching community will allow us to move forward quickly. 

"My role is to provide the technical input into the development of the Soccer Schools programme and just as importantly help our business team to assess the quality of the franchised operations and the standard of the courses being offered under the Liverpool badge to kids around the world."

Nice one what a hero.

Having Rushie back playing any kind of role for our club is only a good thing.

The man is a pure legend and will always be a hero of mine.

Welcome back Rushie!!

Welcome back rushie!

Now pull on a strip and get training, we have chelsea on sunday and counting on you to score a few!

Great News.

Club like LFC just don't forget their legends.

Its a great move to get our legends involved with this great club again.It is going to enhance the reputation of the club and no one can be as passionate about the club than the ones who have donned the red jersey with pride.

He could do a job instead of N'Gog next season too perhaps
I joke Haha

Glad hearing this.
IMHO, Soccer school is best way to find young talents for LFC future.
Rushie is a real legend would help LFC very much.

Sorry for my poor English.

Great news...good to have him back involved as with King Kenny

Just more good news for our ever developing youth system. It's been all too long since we set the world alight with a player from youth, hopefully all the past years overhaul and now Rushie will help some real gems develop

Excellent news, nice to have him back at Anfield.

Welcome back Rushie, any chance we can sign your dopple ganger Aldridge too.

Great to have rushie back all we now need is tommo back to make up the quartet of sammy,kenny,rushie and tommo.
What a team rafa would have.

Is this the same job he was doing for Chelsea then beforehand?

Is this the same job he was doing for Chelsea then beforehand?

Now now,no need to be bitchy.

I'm grinning from ear to ear here. Delighted to have him back in ANY role!
Welcome back!!!!!

One word; legend.

Very happy to hear one of our legends back to help the club. A red will always be a red. I think Rushie is so fed up that he has been waiting for so long for another Rushie to come along, he has perhaps given up waiting and so decides to go his own way to find one. Good of him to be involved with youth players and help us to discover some real rough gems instead of paying everytime 1, 2 or 3 mil for so called potential player and later found out these players are not so potential after all and let them go on a free.
