Sheva noway Chelsea Im a Liverpool fan
'Sheva' is quite simply a living legend at the San Siro. It was he who converted the winning penalty in AC's 2003 Champions League triumph over Juventus and, with six goals from nine games in this season's competition, he's been highly influential in their run to the final once again.
He's also a big admirer of the Reds, who once idolised an Anfield goalscoring hero of the past.
Liverpoolfc.tv: Andriy, is it true that Liverpool legend Ian Rush was a hero to you?
He certainly was. Rush was a terrific striker, one of the best of his time, and I'll never forget receiving a pair of football boots from him at a youth tournament in Wales. I must have been about 14 and he'd actually organised the tournament. I used to love those boots and wore them even when they were too small.
Would you say he inspired you to be a striker?
Obviously I was a big admirer of Rush and in a way I suppose he did but there were other influences. Players like Belanov and Zavaro, they were my heroes from Ukraine and Russia and both of them also inspired me a lot.
As a fan of Rush, did you used to follow Liverpool's fortunes?
Yes, I used to watch Liverpool's matches as a boy on television and I continue to do so now. When we are here at Milanello or in a hotel for an away match I watch a lot of Premiership football with my team-mates. We are all very interested in the English game.
