As a youngster Rush held the record for the number of goals scored in one
season, a record which would be broken by his successor Michael Owen.
He made his debut as a 17 year old for Chester City. In the 79-80 season
he scored 14 goals which prompted the almighty Liverpool to snap him up
for £300,000 he rarely got a start for Liverpool who had Kevin Keegan and
John Toshack. The next season Rush became established and scored 17 goals
for Liverpool, he continued to score goals for Liverpool and in 1984 he won
the European cup. The following season Liverpool again reached the European
cup final at Heysel, they were defeated and following the events of that game
were banned from European competition. By this time he was a regular in the
Welsh team.
In 1987 Rush was transferred to Juventus for £3.2 million, during his time in
Italy he only managed 7 goals. The following season saw him re-signed by
Liverpool for £2.7 million, he remained a prolific scorer for Liverpool and he
scored the record number of league cup goals as he won his last honour in
1995. The arrival of Stan Collymore limited Rush's chances at Liverpool, so
he moved to Leeds on a free transfer. At Leeds Rush scored just 3 goals as
age was beginning to take its effects upon him. He then moved to Newcastle
where he scored just one goal against Everton in the cup.
At international level Rush never played in the finals of a major championship,
the closest he got was a missed penalty away from USA 94. Nonetheless Rush
had an excellent goalscoring record for Wales.
