Van Dijk has been hailed as the best defender in the Premier League by John Barnes, and Jamie Carragher even claimed back in August that he could be remembered like Alan Hansen.However, club record goalscorer Rush believes he cannot be compared with the three-time European Cup winner and eight-time Division One champion.Asked how Van Dijk compares the Reds hero Hansen, Rush told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast: Well, hes still got a long way to go, for me.If Alan Hansen would be playing football today, hed be an absolute world-beater.Ian Rush with Alan Hansen as Liverpool celebrate the 1990 Division One title – the club’s last league victory3
