Ian Wright " it's ok to cheat..." a disgrace

[Dandyman]

These are just Prem stats (ie 92/93 onwards). Wright started playing in the top flight in 1989.

Name Years Games Goals

Jimmy Greaves 1957-72 516 357
Steve Bloomer 1892-10 536 317
William 'Dixie' Dean 1924-38 362 310
Gordon Hodgson 1925-40 456 287
Alan Shearer 1987-2006 559 283
Charlie Buchan 1912-28 482 257

Joe Bradford 1921-35 410 248
Hugh Gallacher 1925-38 355 246

Wright is not fit to clean Greaves' boots.

In your original post you were trying to disprove AJLM's claim that Wright was one of the best of his generation.

Not sure what this list is getting at, but it makes an interesting read.

My disdain for "Wrighty" has precisely nothing to do with Palace whatsoever. I'd almost forgotten he played for such a small club. He's a complete fucknut EVEN without that. Superb player though.

I can forgive that. After all, his time at Selhurst led to us moving above your radar for well over a decade.

NO, English players never ever dive...

i mean that it is impossible, that gerrard dived.

whenever i hear from england fans, read english papers, put the bbc on, everyone tells me that english never ever dive, that its just everyone else who cheats...

so gerrard never dived, wright never dived etc
