I couldn't breathe," the Reds record goalscorer told BBC Sport."It was very difficult and I'm fortunate the NHS helped me; there were a couple of times where I thought I may not be here [for much longer]. I thought it was the end because I couldn't breathe and I went into a panic attack.

"In 2026, there are going to be a few changes because there are a few things that I need to make sure that if anything does happen to me then everything is in place for everyone else."The doctors told me the sun will do you a world of good and I'm allowed to fly so I'm here. They've told me to take as much time off as I need.

That's when you know it's a big family club."Since the health scare, Rush has been inundated with messages from people across the footballing world.On Sunday, he spent an evening with the likes of Brazil legend Ronaldo and former Italy forwards Alessandro Del Piero and Roberto Baggio."It's little things like seeing Baggio, who lived in the same house that I was in when I was at Juventus, and that goes a long way," said Rush."And it gives me the energy to keep going. Some of these legends have won World Cups and I know I haven't but what I can do is look back and say that I was good and that I am Liverpool's record goalscorer.
