Salah is a long way from No1 spot: Five greatest Liverpool strikers named
3. Ian Rush
1980-1987, 1988-1996 (506 appearances, 257 goals): What distinguished Rush from most other strikers is that he was constantly on the prowl. He always had an air of danger about him and never let defenders settle, much in the same way as Firmino does now. He was quick, of foot and mind, and was supplied by Kenny Dalglish, who has an even sharper football brain. His most cherished performance was his four goals at Goodison Park in the 5-0 victory over Everton in 1982. Rush was never the same player after his spell in Italy, as he lost the yard of sharpness that made him the most prolific marksman of the 1980s. But he was always a goal threat. That never left him.
