Evans had been a HUGE fan of Ian Rush since he was 12 years old- he even wrote about it in his memoir!

“When I was 12, this was the man I chased, he was the person more than anybody in the world I wanted to be ! 30 years on and the more I get to know Ian, the more I want to be like him 🙏 thank you Carol & Ian for giving my lads one of their “ bests nights of their life’s “ and for my gift !! A shirt that I never took off all through my teenage years ! I will treasure it for the rest of my days ..
This shirt meant so much to me as a kid along with Ian , they made it in to When I Woke up 🙏 “
