'I'm so proud' - Ian Rush responds to stunning new Liverpool mural

Ian Rush spoke of his pride on the day that a mural was unveiled in his honour.

Liverpool’s all-time record goalscorer, who netted 346 times in 660 appearances for the Reds, was present at Anfield for the reveal. The mural is on Anfield Road, facing Liverpool’s stadium and is yards away from the Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henerson murals. The mural was created by street artists MurWalls and features a close-up of Rush’s face along with another image of his iconic celebration, along with detail about his time at the club, including his status as the club’s all-time top scorer. Rush signed the mural to add the finishing touches to a piece that took three days to complete. It pays tribute to one of Liverpool’s finest ever players.

Rush won 20 trophies during 15 years at Anfield, including a famous treble in 1984. His 660 appearances put him sixth on Liverpool’s all-time appearance holders and the former striker was delighted at the artwork which now adorns the surrounding area of Anfield.
