Mainly it's the parents who remember me. But the kids today, what they do is go and Google you. A lot of them turn up and they know everything about me. They say: 'You scored 346 goals' or 'You wore the No9 shirt for Liverpool.'

But after the half-time team-talk by the now player/manager Kenny Dalglish Liverpool looked a different side in the second half. Manager Bob Paisley paid a record fee for a teenager of £300000. It remained Chester's record sale until they went bankrupt in March 2010.

He is also the all-time leading goalscorer for Liverpool having scored a total of 346 goals in all competitions for them during his two spells there. Since retiring as a player in 2000 Rush has had a stint as manager of Chester City (2004–05) and has worked as a television football pundit.
