Liverpool legend Ian Rush has heaped praise on his model fiancée, Carol Anthony, for helping him through the 'superflu' which made him believe he 'was a goner'.
Rush, 64, was taken to hospital earlier this month and spent around 48 hours in intensive care after collapsing due to breathing difficulties in his home in Cheshire.
The Reds' all-time leading goalscorer has told the Mirror that he woke up at 2am to make a cup of tea because he was 'struggling to breathe', with an appointment with the doctor already booked for later in the morning.
