ESPN Classic is proud to announce they have produced an original series of exciting new programming called "Strikers", which will profile in a rare and candid way the on and off-the-field personalities and behaviour of elite goalscorers to play in England throughout the seventies and eighties.
Liverpool's legendary striker, Ian Rush gives Gary Imlach the low-down on his glittering career. The programme kicks off at 10pm on Monday 19th February 2007 and will run over thirty minutes. Immediately following the show is the high drama football match, Everton V Liverpool, 1982, in which Rushy displays an absolute masterclass at Goodison and sent Everton fans heading for the exits earlier than anticipated.
For the remainder of the week, ESPN Classic on Sky Channel 442 will feature other memorable matches for Rush's Kop days including:
Aston Villa V Liverpool, 1984 (20th Feb)
# In front of less than 20,000 hardy fans, Rush was at his clinical best
QPR V Liverpool, 1984 (21st Feb)
# Despite QPR being a useful side during the 80's, it wasn't enough to stop an Ian Rush inspired Liverpool
Watford V Liverpool, 1986 (22nd Feb)
# A true mid-80's culture clash, as Graham Taylor's Watford meets Kenny Daglish's sweet-passing Liverpool in an end-to-end entertaining encounter
Roma V Liverpool, 1984 (23rd Feb)
# This European Cup battle proved to be torturous and nerve-wracking for players, managers and fans alike. Over two exhausting hours developing into a penalty shoot-out in the Stadio Olimpico
Gary Imlach discusses in details the virtues of Ian Rush's career in each show and strips him bare to profile him in an honest way for all the UK to see.
Football fans will also have the opportunity to vote for who they believe is the greatest striker throughout this period on the ESPN Classic website - www.deadgoodsport.co.uk. Fans comments will appear on-screen throughout the series, the most insightful of which will win great prizes.
