He would have to be there a good few more years if he is going to break that record.” Only five players have appeared more times for Liverpool than Rush – Ian Callaghan (857), Jamie Carragher (737), Steven Gerrard (710), Ray Clemence (665) and Emlyn Hughes (665). • READ: Ian Rush’s beautifully heartbreaking message in honour of Diogo Jota He also won five league titles and one European Cup with the Reds, as well as scoring 28 times in 73 caps for Wales.
