1994 Ian Rush Testimonial
Match Worn Shirt |
|
|
|
Liverpool's sharpshooter supreme Ian Rush scored with a bumper pay-out as Anfield paid homage to its greatest soccer striking legend. A crowd of 25,856 grossed club record receipts for a testimonial of around UKP500,000 for the then 33-year-old Welshman who has become as identified with the red of Liverpool as any player of the past 25 years.
Stig Bjornebye, Steve McManaman and a Mark McNally own goal put Liverpool three ahead at the interval with second-half strikes from Phil Babb an Neil Ruddock adding to the pain for the Bhoys.
The Liverpool team on that day was:
David James (#1), Steve Harkness (#2), Stig Bjornebye (#3), John Scales (#4), Phil Babb (#5), Neil Ruddock (#6), Nigel Clough (#8), Ian Rush (#9), Michael Thomas (#10), Robbie Fowler (#11) and Steve McManaman (#12). Two named and used substitutes were Kenny Daglish (#7) and Mark Walters (#15). |
