News about Ian Rush

Jamie Carragher expects Mohamed Salah to stay at Liverpool beyond the end of the current season. Salah has already established himself as a Liverpool legend - alongside former defender Carragher - after scoring 218 goals in his first 360 appearances for the Merseyside club across all competitions. Only Ian Rush (339) and Roger Hunt (263) have scored more goals for Liverpool than Salah in the club's 132-year history.

Mohamed Salah is in the final year of his contract at Liverpool and the Reds could face a battle to keep him beyond the end of the season. Salah has scored 217 goals in 358 games for Liverpool since arriving from Roma in 2017. Only Ian Rush, Roger Hunt, Gordon Hodgson and Billy Liddell have scored more goals than Salah in the Merseyside club's 132-year history. If Salah does not sign a new deal at Anfield then he will be able to leave on a free transfer next summer.

The six-bedroom property, named Rock Mount, is located in a Conservation Area on the site of a former quarry in the village of Caldy, Merseyside - one of the north of England's most exclusive addresses. It originally came to the market two years ago and was priced at a whopping £3.75m before later being reduced to £3.5m.

Sven-Goran Eriksson's children have paid tribute to their 'brave' father and thanked all those who created 'positive memories' with him during his illness. Today, the former England manager died aged 76 from pancreatic cancer sending shockwaves across the footballing world.

JOE BERNSTEIN: Tens of thousands of Mail Sport readers have voted over the summer to choose the greatest ever player at every current Premier League club. Thank you to everyone who participated either through our online poll or by email. With the 2024-25 top-flight season beginning on Friday, August 16, we are revealing all the winners this week.

IAN LADYMAN: For a five-second illustration of what made Alan Hansen the outstanding central defender of his and indeed many other generations, you need only to go to the footage of a Liverpool dismantling of Everton at Goodison Park in November 1982. In the eleventh minute of a game Liverpool were to win 5-0, Everton's Andy King plays a ball in to the feet of David Johnson only for Hansen to read the pass and steal the ball in front of his opponent with a yard to spare. Johnson looks bemused. Side stepping a scything attempt to tackle from Steve McMahon, Hansen strides into the Everton half before playing a perfect 20 yards pass between the opposing central defenders for Ian Rush to run on to and score. It was the opening goal of the game and Hansen seemed to have the whole thing mapped out in his head before anybody else had even woken up to the possibility.

OLIVER HOLT: Mo Salah is an exceptional footballer. Everything I have heard about him, from team-mates, ex-team-mates and people who have worked with him, suggests that he is also a model professional, someone whose dedication to the game is beyond reproach, someone whose meticulous attitude towards recovery between matches, as one example, sets the standard. It is a high bar at a club that has won as much as Liverpool, but Salah is one of Anfield's all-time greats, a player who deserves his place in the club's iconography alongside legendary strikers like Roger Hunt, Kevin Keegan and Ian Rush, a man who has won it all during his time on Merseyside. He has been good for Liverpool and Liverpool has been good for him and the way he behaved towards Jurgen Klopp on the touchline at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon does not change the fact that his record demands he continues to be regarded with great respect long after he leaves. The consistency of his goalscoring has been remarkable.

I Am Maximus lived up to its billing by imperiously romping home in the Grand National yesterday - but with many jubilant racegoers unaware of the poignant story behind his classical name. Owner JP McManus, the Irish billionaire, celebrated victory at Aintree surrounded by his grandchildren after his horse, ridden by Paul Townend, streaked clear in a thrilling finish. The magnate bought the Willie Mullins-trained horse only last year from Salford businessman Mike Grech, who had named the gelding after his wife Maxine, dreaming of it one day winning jump racing's biggest prize.

Eriksson led out onto the pitch at Anfield before the game, standing arm-in-arm with Gerrard. He admitted to being in tears when You'll Never Walk Alone rang around the streets, and he helped turn the game around from 2-0 down to a 4-2 victory. Throughout the game, he was embraced by a number of players and sat next to Ian Rush and John Barnes in the home dugout.

A young fan pitch invaded Liverpool legends' match with Ajax and then took a selfie with Steven Gerrard. Gerrard led a team of former Reds players to face their Ajax counterparts in a charity game to benefit the LFC Foundation at Anfield. After he revealed his terminal cancer diagnosis in February, Sven-Goran Eriksson was joined by Ian Rush, John Barnes, and John Aldridge in the dugout as he fulfilled a lifelong desire to coach the club.

Sven-Goran Eriksson continues to be a gentleman who does everything possible to have a happy life two months after discovering his terminal pancreatic cancer diagnosis. When England boss Terry Morgan said he had 'about a year' to live, he would live to play for Liverpool Legends against Ajax Legends at Anfield on Saturday. He is now back in Sweden receiving medical attention, and he has admitted that his shock cancer diagnosis brought his life into sharper focus.

CHRIS SUTTON: In the 1986-87 season, Clive Allen scored 49 goals, and I was awed at his scoring skills. Trevor Francis was a kid, with a hint of Tony Woodcock and Garry Birtles. Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rushe need to yell out, and Jimmy Greaves and Geoff Hurst's hat-trick are included in the series. We've got to mention Roy of the Rovers too. Now there was a goalscorer - so good, he had his own sketch. I'm sure why Netflix needs a series on strikers.

Any fan of the Kop's electrifying forwards over the years will debate it long into the night, a tradition that has existed in the twentieth century to the present day. Ian Ladyman took on the challenge of naming the best five Reds forwards he's ever seen - a mash-up of old blood with modern names.

Hull City made a convincing argument to sign Fabio Carvalho on loan from Liverpool following a disappointing stint at RB Leipzig, with the Tigers expected to complete the deal this week after fending off interest from Premier League clubs. The 21-year-old's interest in Wolves and Sheffield United were keen on the 21-year-old's appearance, but Liverpool decided that, after playing just 360 minutes in Germany, a transfer to the second division would be more beneficial, with Southampton and Leeds interested. Although a formal agreement is not complete, Confidential claims Hull has proclaimed themselves front-runners thanks to manager Liam Rosenior's willingness to lend loanees a chance, as seen with fellow Anfield actor Tyler Morton, who is excelling this season.

Rangers' inquiry into left-back Owen Beck was dismissed by Liverpool. Ian Rush, the 21-year-old great nephew of former Liverpool striker Ian Rush, has been released from his impressive loan spell with Dundee. However, Liverpool still needs him as back-up for Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas.

Following Bill Kenwright's memorial service at Liverpool Cathedral in October, football greats paid their respects alongside current professionals and followers. Sean Dyche, the head of Everton, was on a first-team appearance, including Jordan Pickford and Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Sir Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush, as well as former Everton boss Frank Lampard and ex-Goodison Park favourite Tim Cahill, all turned up. Kate McCann, Madeleine McCann's mother, was one of the Everton supporters who paid tribute to Kenwright at the closed event. Coleen Rooney, Andy Burnham, and Tony Bellew were among the attendees.

In the season's first Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton, the two teams will meet for the 243rd time tomorrow lunchtime. These two fierce rivals have been fighting at Goodison Park since 1894, when Everton defeated Liverpool 3-0 in front of 44,000 fans, two years after leaving Anfield and heading across Stanley Park. Liverpool have a 98 to 67 draw in the 129 years since winning 98 to Everton's 67 in a head-to-head battle. And Ian Rush's 25 goals are the most goals scored by a player in the game.

Martin Tyler has become one of modern football commentary's most iconic figures, narrating some of the most exciting moments in a club game. So the news that he was being cut from Sky Sports for cost-cutting reasons brought home how important the 77-year-old has been to football on Saturday. This season was the first time he had missed a Premier League trophy lift in 20 years, bowing out of the Manchester City coverage due to a sore throat. His work has been lauded by fans and fellow media professionals since joining Sky in 1990. In April 2003, he was named Premier League Commentator of The Decade, and he's now retired for two decades.

One of the children who starred in the iconic 'Accrington Stanley, who are they?' A milk commercial in the eighties was sentenced to life in prison for murder. Kevin Spaine, 43, was found guilty of murdering Learoy Venner, who was repeatedly punched and kicked in a violent attack at a house in Anfield on Saturday. Spaine returned to Liverpool Crown Court to be convicted today, where he was sentenced to life without a minimum term of 18 years.

Arsenal had a fantastic start to the season, and it's critical that they pick up from where they left off, but they won't have to do it without inspirational Gabriel Jesus. In his last 11 games for Arsenal in all competitions, Jesus hasn't scored. But he's more than a goalscorer. No one has fired more shots after winning the ball high up the pitch than Arsenal in all Premier League clubs. Jesus is a big part of it. When I was a youth player, Ian Rush seemed to be Liverpool's best defender, with his hunted down the ball and never stopped giving us a moment's rest. Jesus is made in the same mold as Rush.

Rio Ferdinand was mocked for posting his pre-match notes on his Twitter stream ahead of England's match with Wales. When Ferdinand posted his notes from the studio just seconds before going on air, he was on punditry duty for the BBC ahead of his critical Group B fixture. The former England defender, alongside host Gary Lineker and fellow pundits Ashley Williams, Alan Shearer, and Ian Rush, welcomed fans into his pre-match analysis ahead of the fight in Qatar between the two British sides.

GRAEME SOUNESS: I have spent the past week watching the best players in the world compete in a world where has expended money to make itself a worthy host of the world's biggest sporting spectacle. But my thoughts have been drifting back to my Liverpool days when I learned that we had lost one of the team's greatest players. David Johnson would not have referred to himself as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. Despite scoring twice in a 3-1 victory over Argentina in 1980, he wasn't an England regular, like many of our Liverpool team's back then. Argentina never took prisoners and were world champions at the time, but they were never prisoners. David, however, was a special person, and he leaves indelible memories for those of us who played with him and knew him well.

SPORTS AGENDA: Liverpool has erected a mural on a temporary wall adjacent to Anfield Road's end to commemorate the club's greatest strikers. The artwork runs along a footpath behind which construction of the new Anfield Road Stand is expected to begin before next season, according to the artist. Sir Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush, Luis Suarez, Fernando Torres, Sadio Mane, and Mo Salah are among the show's most popular faces.

DOMINIC KING IS KINGDOM OF THE JOHAN CRUYFF ARENA: The game had long been played, but the majority of the goals had been scored when Darwin Nunez made one of his most impressive contributions. Ajax were playing a good opening in the 56th minute when Nunez burst out of the shadows with an impeccably timed intercept and sped away from the team. It was the sort of thing you've seen Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah, or Sadio Mane do countless times over the years: the sort of stuff that Ian Rush created his trademark 40 years ago and Luis Suarez thrived on: they want their forwards to do the hard yards as well as score at Anfield.
