After scoring 139 goals for Liverpool from 1980 to 1987, Rush had seven goals in 29 games in his only season at Juventus. A Welshman, he did not help himself when he reportedly said about his time in Turin, “It’s like living in a foreign country.”Rush was also reputed to have once asked a group of journalists why one of their number wasn't there.
"he died a few months ago" they told him.
"How?" he asked.
"The Big C", one of them replied.
"What, he couldn't swim?"

Couldn't it just have been yoofspeak, unkindly mispunctuated by a journalist? Asked to explain the deterioration of his form, he perhaps, wanting to say that he was homesick, replied - "It's,like, living in a foreign country".
Season of good will and all that.. even to footballers.
I like your blog. Keep on keeping on.
It could be, but why check such a good story and risk it being proved untrue?
