Ian Rush

[GUNTER]

Noticed that 'Rushie' still looks fit and has played well in some charity games recently, scoring a few goals.

Surely he would still be capable of finding the net at Div1 level. How about we approached him about playing for us this season, we could do a lot worse!

Yes, but he could still do it today. I know he could. I think Rushie is superb.

He had a loan spell with Sheffield United, before leaving St James's Park in the summer of 1998 to sign, amid much fanfare, for Wrexham AFC. Now past his prime, he failed to score in 18 starts for the North Wales club, and was moved into midfield towards the end of the season. He made a brief playing comeback with Sydney Olympic in Australia, before finally retiring, aged 38, in 2000.

Chester manager, 2004-2005
He was later appointed manager of his first professional club, Chester City (by this time in Football League Two), in August 2004, having removed himself from the unofficial shortlist for the post of manager of the Welsh national team in November 2004. He resigned from his post at Chester in April 2005, citing disagreements with the Chairman as the reason for his departure.

Media career and other activities, 2005 to present
In 2005, at the age of 43, Ian Rush considered coming out of retirement to play for TNS, after the Welsh side were drawn against Liverpool for their opening round Champions League qualifying match.
