Q&A: Ian Rush - ‘If you look at my record at Liverpool, no-one will break it in my lifetime’

Ian Rush is the record goalscorer for Liverpool and Wales. These days, he’s an ambassador for Liverpool and Uefa. Rush spends some of his spare time in Cork with his partner Carol Anthony, from Togher. Rush has joined Liverpool on their summer tour with the final stop today (5.15pm) in Dublin as the Reds face Athletic Bilbao at the Aviva Stadium

Q: We saw you recently in your role as a Champions League ambassador bringing the trophy onto the pitch for the final in Cardiff. When you were looking out at the players with their multi-million wage packets, was there any sense of envy?

A: No, really. It’s the going rate these days and I was lucky. People ask me ‘What’d you be worth today?’ but I wouldn’t swap anything. I won trophies, had a great time and we got paid well. It’s what you do with the money, that’s the problem a lot of people have.
