NewsLFC's greatest goalscorer honoured with 'All You Need Is Rush' immersive exhibition
Rush, who scored 346 times in 660 appearances for the club, worked directly with the LFC Museum and Tours team to create a captivating fan experience that traces his journey from young footballer in North Wales to a legendary No.9.
A life-size hologram of the man himself welcomes visitors to 'All You Need Is Rush' – named after his famous terrace anthem – with a two-minute immersive introduction that speaks directly to supporters.
Fans can watch as the hologram glitches between the LFC icon as he is now and the player who lit up Anfield in the 1980s and '90s, as he reflects on the defining moments of his Reds career and the people who shaped his story.
Supporters will also enjoy a treasure trove of personal memorabilia provided by Rush, including his European and English First Division Golden Boot awards, all 16 of his Liverpool hat-trick match balls and three match-worn FA Cup final shirts from the club's victories in 1986, 1989 and 1992.
Rush won five league titles, two European Cups, three FA Cups and five League Cups with Liverpool. He took third place in the recent Greatest vote – behind only Sir Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard.
Speaking at a launch event at Anfield, the 64-year-old said: "This exhibition means a great deal to me because it isn't just about football.
"It's about memories, it's about the people I played with, the managers who believed in me, the supporters who stood behind me and the club that became my home.
"When I first arrived at Liverpool as a young lad from North Wales, I never dreamed of what lay ahead. I simply wanted to work hard, score goals and earn the right to wear this famous shirt.
"I've worked closely with the Stadium Tours and Museum team here at Anfield to make this as personal as possible and it means a great deal to be able to share it all with our wonderful supporters.
"It's filled with all sorts, including some of the shirts I wore, the boots that carried me through the hundreds of matches and the silverware that reminds me of unforgettable times.
"There are also lots of moments that Liverpool supporters still love to remind me about to this day – the four goals at Goodison Park, the European Cup triumphs, the days out at Wembley and the goals, all of them.
"I hope everyone who visits this exhibition enjoys it and gets as much pleasure out of it as I did helping to create it."
Jonathan Bamber, LFC's chief legal and external affairs officer and Forever Reds executive sponsor, added: "Ian Rush's legacy is woven into the history of Liverpool Football Club and we're so proud to be able to celebrate his remarkable career through this amazing new exhibition.
"It reflects the club's ongoing commitment to bring supporters, old and new, closer to the heritage that defines this club via the LFC Tour and Museum and to continue to support, honour and work with our iconic former players, while also raising money for local good causes through Forever Reds."
