Who do you think was better? Similar kind of players, both tall target men. According to Wikepdia their Palace goal scoring record is: Bright: Played 227 - scored 91 Similar records although most of Brights were in the second tier. Benteke commanded the big fee and is an international unlike Bright however Bright played for us during our most successful period by far. Personally I think this is a close one however (and it maybe through rose tinted glasses) I would probably edge Bright.

Benteke gets games for a good Belgium team, Bright never got an England cap , or was wanted by any of the top teams.

The only real difference..... Bright had Wright next to him. Now.... If Benteke had Dwight next to him, now that would be some partnership.

I agree. 2nd most irritating thing over the weekend for me was listening to Alan Pardew talking about what a good player and finisher Dwight Gayle is. Didn't he leave him on the bench and then flog him?

It has to be Bright any time. Johnny Byrne and Cliff Holton were also great strikers for us back in the old days. A bit of nostalgia does no harm.

Your still completely oblivious to a certain massive difference, which your stupid to overlook. One is played as a lone striker. One was part of a partnership. SAS Sutton and shearer. York and Cole. Bright and Wright. Benteke and...... That's the difference. Your comparing one man doing the whole job, alone. To another man who did 50% of the job, while someone else did the other 50%. So maybe.... just to be fair.... ask yourself.... Does benteke do 50% of a job?
