Career in Pictures: Liverpool legend Ian Rush

The final few years

Rush reunited with Kenny Dalglish at St James’ Park for a season, and found himself a regular starter in the early stages of the season.

However, he didn’t find the net in the Premier League in his year-stay in the North East, but did net another FA Cup goal in the Magpies’ win over Everton.

Here he is pictured in action against Chelsea in September 1997.

He had a short loan spell at Sheffield United that season, and then left Newcastle permanently in the summer for Wrexham.

He didn’t net for Wrexham, and then had a short spell at Sydney Olympic before retiring in 2000.
