So many young strikers could learn plenty from watching Rushie, notice how he very rarely takes more than two touches and never over complicates anything. I have never seen a more clinical striker in 50 years of watching football. Rushie was also the first line of defence and could also pick a pass...The complete player imo.
The complete no.9, was world class in more areas of being a centre forward than I can say of anyone else- and because he had so many tools in his toolbox and could decide what to do so quickly, it had an exponential effect of making him completely unplayable, because in any given situation when the ball gets played in he had 3-4 ways he could finish. He could spin, drop a shoulder for a yard, head, far corner, near corner, with power, with finesse.. In terms of a pure finisher there has arguably been noone better ever. Usually with players (some of them better overall players than Rushie) they have their signature finishes- Messi has them, Fowler had them, Shearer, Ronaldo... Rushie could do it all.
The only times he doesn’t finish in one touch is with his trademark turn and finish. Best finisher, left foot right foot head defender, best runs off the ball. He was deadly Goal Rush!
@@razer0072073You are spot on! Hunt has 244 in League goals, Rushie 229 League goals... Hunt has 285 goals in all competitions, Rushie has 346 goals in all competitions...
I'd argue Ian Rush had the greatest on pitch impact of any LFC legend of all time. Kenny is recognised as the greatest, but in all fairness he didn't come in as a youngster like Rush did and half of Kenny's legacy is due to what he did off the pitch. Rush was the best finisher in Europe for a decade, and if it wasn't for the Heysel disaster and the European ban his legend would be even greater I'm sure. AC Milan had it easy with their legendary side at that time because they didn't have to face the great LFC late 80s team.
@@Tridentus i could only argue that Steven Gerrard could be more charismatic & impactful, but i grew up watching Gerrard so i could be biased. Rush looked insane though!
Rush had decent pace, out of the world finishing, and amazing passing. His first time shooting abilities are excellent. A great player. You could do a very bad cross but Rush would manage to finish it off. He made unpredictable runs and knew he was going to get the ball; just put it in front of him, and he would score. Quality player. One of Liverpool's best. :)
His runs were predictable, hence a Beardsley, Hughes, Barnes or Dalglish could always find him, its his timing that wasn't predictable, which is why defenders lost him. ⚽
Clinical. Efficient. Consistent. Technique. Speed. Intelligence. Tactical Awareness. The man was absolutely lethal. The best finisher Ive ever seen, I wouldn't swap him even for Van Basten. Best British Centre forward Ive seen. Mark Hughes or Alan Shearer is maybe the most complete British centre forward & Shearer pushes Rush close but when it comes to putting it in the back of the net at the top level, nobody is better than Ian Rush.
@@AK_AVFC Better is a big word. Define it. Both scored in European Cup finals, both were the top striker for the biggest club in Europe in their prime. Theres levels n both of them were top class, yer talking 1% here n there.
I grew up on Rush, Aldridge, Barnes, Beardsley, Dalglish, Staunton, Grobbellaar and so on. The greatest Liverpool side I ever saw. Fell in love with football as a child from that moment on, and 45 years later still a true Liverpool fan
Great video as usual ! We need: Lúcio, Vieira, Rai, Roberto Rojas, Higuita, Etcheberry, Carlos Santillana, Ronaldinho, Kaká, Cicinho, Branco, Julio Baptista, Roberto Falcao, Dirceu, Juninho, Zanetti, Simeone, Pirés, Giuly, Mágico González, René Houseman, Bochini, etc. You need to explore more south american players of the 70's there is some interesting players. Also Leonel Sánchez on WC 1962, if Vavá and Florian Albert have a video? he has some beautifull freekicks in the tournament and he was also topscorer of the WC 1962.

The best striker ever. All midfield had to do was put the ball in the area he pointed at. If it was a quality ball two touches later it's in the net. In the same league as your Messi's, Ronaldo, Pele and Maradona IMHO.
Rush technique wow.. better than Torres easily. Sensational.. only messi and Gerd Muller n Ronaldo have more club goals for 1 club than Ian rush. Ppl dnt realise how fantastic rush was.. he can do it all and did it all dribble shoot left and right volley long rage headers . Top 5 best strikers of all time.
As a non Liverpool fan what i remember of Ian Rush as a child and if i had to describe him in one word, it would be "prolific" .... if using two words, "goal machine" ..... three words, "non stop goals" .
He was my fave player till Fowler came along now I rember y I rember him just been a tap in artist 4 got he scored so much great goals to he's the real Welsh wizard
Great as Van Basten was, Rush was quite a considerably better as a marksman. He scored 346 goals at Liverpool alone, (not counting goals for other teams he played for), reaching almost 400 career goals. Van Basten reached something like 300, which was a superb achievement in itself. Hats off to both men! Few strikers anywhere or in any era can compete with Rush's goal tally, he was that good.
He was so ahead of the of hes time. And the best striker in the land bk then. All i remember is hearing the commentator say RUUUUSH! On repeat lol. My fav striker of all time. say that as an arsenal fan. Dalglish and rush in today's game. Wow
This was his best goals, but he often scored many tap ins, just like Haaland does now. In many ways Haaland is like Rush, great movements and a clinical finisher!
No comparison. Rush is from a way tougher era. You were offside if you were level in Rush's era, Today you can even be off side so long as you arent directly interfering with play, that alone doubles Rush's Goals per game ratio. You could tackle from behind n basically butcher a player in Rush's era, today you can't even tackle head on any more, that alone doubles Rush's goals per game ratio. You could back pass to the keeper in Rush's era n the keeper could pick it up, they can't do that today, that alone adds 20% to rushes goals per game ratio. Rush's era favoured defensive football & defenders, that all changed in the 90s & Rush bridged those two eras n proved he woulda been a scoring machine in this era too. Haaland is a big soft pampered kitten compared to the razor sharp, streetwise Rush.
@@SPIDERM0OSE Big soft kitten, well I am sure even Haaland would have adapted to the rules of that era, as he say he thrives on a bit of physical fighting, no kitten in my opinion. Haaland does not make the rules, if you ask the defensive players in Premier League today I doubt they would regards Haaland as a soft kitten! But than again you probably know better, don’t you?
@@truxton1000 Kno better than the likes of you ? Of course I do, who doesnt ? What I said can be verified by the fact that Rush proved his ability on both sides of the rule changes, where as Haaland has only proved he is capable of impressing widdle Spice Boys like you. 😏
Rush would hit 50 to 60 a season in this man city side all without penalties and laugh at the modern player falling over at a touch on them.Used to get kicked lumps out of and get on with it
I kind of wonder how great these strikers would be today. Feel like England didn't really have good defenders or goalkeepers until the 00's. I'd include my own Shearer in that. I mean thugs like Vinnie Jones were playing in the top flight. I think there's exceptions more in older playmakers. Maradona, Gascogine, who I think could maybe be successful in the modern game. I just wonder how many goals someone like Kane would have scored if he played in the 80s. I think Shearer and Rush's goal tallys would be significantly less, if they were playing against competent defenders like in Italy
If only today attackers would study his goals, he just shoots from positions that today's players will hold the ball, pass it sideways, or drop back with it. He instead just shoots.....and scores.
Now that i see this, It reminds me of Kane. Very well timed runs, efficient strikes (no unnecessary dribbling and or extra touches), and a great vision.
Ian rush un buteur de trempe mondiale, pour moi le numéro un , une véritable machine il ratisse tous , dommage n'a pas eu une grande équipe nationale qui lui permet de persévérer en coupe d'Europe ou coupe du monde
I have never heard about him, but i just realized he's the maximun scorer in liverpool and i can clearly realize why, he just did the right moves to score, nothing else, he did not complicate just control the ball, turn and kick. He seems easy but this is what great players do, make hard things so easy that it seems very simple.

The music. The moustache. The violence, speed and momentum. This video is coming in with huge Champions Club energy.
The best pure finisher of the 80's. The term goal machine was coined for Rushie.
346 goals for Liverpool and didn't take penalties. His record will never be broken. A goal machine.
I believe Rodger Hunt has more league goals than Rushie but overall he wins
Absolute Legend
Look at the amount of goals he scored in finals, semi finals & crunch games that could have decided the league.
