Banta of the century... Ian Rush scores goal after goal in Merseyside derbies (some set up by John Barnes) - then pops up with this beauty in his twilight years from a yard out, assisted by Barnes, in a Newcastle shirt haha. Even better and more poetic if it was his last ever goal in England! Priceless 😂
Aussie backpacker.. Spent a cold Wednesday evening in 1897 in the Newcastle away crowd at Goodison Park. Best night out in years . Non-stop, singing then they went absolutely bananas when they scored.
Not v good really.He played ten times in the league without scoring. He scored one other goal, Hull in the League Cup after missing a lot of chances. He left for Sheff Utd on loan very shortly after this game. This was an important goal though - helped us on our way to the final!

Another goal from Rush! A true Geordie legend and that's how he'll always be remembered!

Barnes did amazingly to get that in but clearly an own goal!
This was the last ever goal Ian Rush scored in English football.
Steve watson was underrated
How good was Ian Rush at Newcastle? Honest question..
