Standing supreme as Liverpool's all-time scoring king the lean Welshman was one of the deadliest strikers in football history, blending superb anticipation with lethal finishing. His attack partnership with Kenny Dalglish is widely rated the best ever in British football.
Rush became Britain's most expensive teenager when Bob Paisley paid £300,000 to sign him from Chester in 1980. During his two-part Anfield career, split by a season with Juventus in 1987-88 when he left and returned for a combined £6 million, Rush scored 346 goals in 660 senior outings, although in the League only he was 16 goals short of Roger Hunt's club record 245.

It was about the only one to elude him. Rush's haul of 44 FA Cup goals (39 of them for Liverpool) is a 20th century record while his five-goal total in FA Cup Finals (two in 1986 and 1989 and one in 1992 all on winning Liverpool sides) is an all-time best by an individual. Rush shares with Geoff Hurst the League Cup scoring record of 49 and was the first player to win that competition five times, completing his nap hand as Liverpool captain against Bolton in 1995. He scored 10 times in 18 Wembley outings for the club.

He also collected five Championship medals, one European Cup and was awarded the MBE. Rush scored an all-time Mersey derby record of 25 goals against Everton, won Europe's Golden Boot with 32 League goals in 1984 when he was also double Footballer of the Year and captained Wales, for whom he scored a record 28 goals in 73 games. He joined Leeds in 1996 and later played for Newcastle, Wrexham and Sydney Olympic.


Article extracted from official LFC site.  What a legend and Wales should be proud to have one of the greatest players in the world I believe he still holds Liverpool's all time record of 346 goals in all competitions.

I am proud Tehe. ^ I think I have that kit!! A 100 years old one? It's similar anyway.

Eddie you clearly can't spell..

Oh yeah, Tosh critisising the players, he's the manager he should be able to sort it. We should beat San Marino tomoz as they are on 0 points but you know us  :

I think I have that kit!! A 100 years old one?

That would either be the 1892 or the 1907 kit? Where'd you get it, a museum?

Know what you mean - the 1992 Centenary year kit.

So it's Rushy's birthday on Saturday, huh...

Welsh people (According to Google)

Yep JD that's our national.. dress ? Something like that anyway. In primary school every year on St David's day I'd go to school in full Welsh Lady outfit, usually a skirt with boots, white shirt, shawl and the hat was the most important bit, and a daffodil aswell

Is Saturday the 20th? Then yes it is woo

Yeah it must be 1992, it's not with me here it's at home or else I'd check it. My Dad gave it to me I dunno tehe.

So it's Rushy's birthday on Saturday, huh...

In his honour I think we should get 3 past the blueshite on Sat and concede none.

The real honour would be for our number 9 to knock four past the binmen
Torres scored 1 Torres scored 2 Torres scored 3 and Torres scored 4 la la la la la la la

Why not it's not like they have the most challenging defence in England is it?

Oh my GOD we scored 2 against Ireland!!
der-der-der-der..Jason Koumas!
Robbie Keane and Kevin Doyle scoring for them! I haven't seen the goals though.
Mil Stad looked quite empty but I'm not at all surprised to be honest. We had nothing to win for. I'm surprised we got a point out of the game, I thought we'd lose badly, so I didn't bother checking the score until the end.

wasnt a bad game of football. we (Ireland) were the better side but with the players we have playing at a higher level then the welsh lads that was expected.

2 very young sides in general so the future for both our countries might not be as gloomy as some people think Nicola.

Main thing was Steve Finnan came through unhurt

Did you go to it? Or watch on TV? I didn't see any of it, we couldn't even qualify so, I feel bad to say, I couldn't be bothered to watch. I also never thought we'd get a point so..

Yep glad Finnan was unhurt.

Wales Under-21s could still qualify, which does give me a bit of hope about the future of Welsh football!

I dont' think we should even bother playing Germany tonight. We can't qualify.

watched it on telly. sadly the stadium was 3/4s empty but it was a decent game as I said

Yeah my mate text me asking why it was so empty. I wasn't surprised at all to be honest.

I am proud of my country tonight, drawing 0-0 with the Germans!!

Yeh but the Germans had nothing to play for - like Croatia (oh sh*t).

apparently neither the dutch or the Germans wanted to win last night as whoever did would be in the top seeds for the euros with Greece Austria and Switzerland which meant they would draw some big guns like France Italy spain or Portugal. The dutch lost in Moldova before the Germans game started so there may well be a lot of truth in that
