Ian Rush

I've done my coaching badges, I've got my Pro Licence, but I enjoy what I'm doing now. I'm also the elite performance director of the Welsh FA. The main thing for me was always Liverpool Football Club and my country, Wales - and I'm lucky enough to still be involved with both of them.

Mainly it's the parents who remember me. But the kids today, what they do is go and Google you. A lot of them turn up and they know everything about me. They say: 'You scored 346 goals' or 'You wore the No9 shirt for Liverpool.'

In India, kids need someone to look up to. They've got it in cricket: they have Tendulkar and others.

It's different from Liverpool. Boston seems to be a friendly place.

I've got tremendous respect for different cultures, for the food and everything.

Moving from Wales to Italy is like moving to a different country.

People say you should go out at the top but I was enjoying my football so much. Robbie Fowler's exactly the same: he's not playing for money any more, he's playing for enjoyment. Why go out at the top if it's going to make you miserable? I just wanted to play as long as I could.

I love horse racing, I play golf, and I love travelling.

I couldn't settle in Italy - it was like living in a foreign country.

You've got to have a dream... if you don't have any big dreams, nothing happens.

You can enjoy yourself, but you need to look after yourself as well.

I realised I'd been spoiled at Liverpool. We were used to winning. In Italy I grew up as a person. I didn't enjoy the football, mind. It was very defensive, but I became a better player because of the work I had to do around the box. Off the pitch, I learned about what to eat and what to drink to be successful, and I learned about life.
