    Lineker for me. His GPG is miles better. 244 in 340 English league games, opposed to Rush's 254 in 572.

    Can't really compare their international records, England were a million times better than Wales back then.

    Rushie for me. One of the, if not the greatest 6 yard poachers to ever play the game.

    As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls

    I think you're reading the stats wrong there (or they're not very clear). 244 was Lineker's career total. He still had a better gpg ratio, but it's Rush all the way for me.

    Simple Stats

    Lineker:

    Overall: 1 goal in every 2.005 games
    League: 1 goal in every 1.9 games
    International: 1 goal in every 1.666 games

    Rush:

    Overall: 1 goal in every 2.087 games.
    League: 1 goal in every 2.37 games
    International: 1 goal in every 2.69 games

    Overall, the only place where Lineker is far more prolific is Internationally. Given that Rushie is a poor Taff, its a no brainer. I wonder what his England tally would have been if he was a English? Just as good I'd say.

    I'm a Liverpool fan so I'm probably being biased in saying Rush. What I can honestly say is that both of them were supreme goalscorers and clinical finishers. However, Rushie's all round game was far superior to Linekers and his last few seasons were basically spent playing the 2nd striker role and doing the donkey work which wouldn't have helped his goals per game ratio.

    Rush would never give the defenders a moments piece and his link play was excellent IMO. Lineker on the other hand was a lazy git who just hung around the box

    Rush did the donkey work for Fowler to score plenty of his goals and did the same at Newcastle.

    Ian Rush all day. Scored more, achieved more, and was just better at everything, from heading and long range, to defending from the front and hold up play. Easy one this...

    I'm probably biased also as an Everton fan, but Lineker for me also. A bet poacher and also did it when he left England, the fact that he missed out on the all time England goalscoring record will probably haunt him. Its probably not fair to compare them on International statistics as Lineker obviously played in a more potent team.

    Lineker. During the 85/86 his record was phenomenal. Plus he managed to be relatively successful when he moved overseas, unlike Rush who was a flop at Juve. Plus rush was sad enough to do that April fools "joke" in Shoot!

    Rush.

    Never forgave Lineker for equalising in Poland in 91.

    Right you are. I'd still go for Lineker. No turning back at this stage anyway.

    No surprise considering your sig.

    I can't imagine a Liverpool fan would vote for Lineker.
    Rush played in THE TOP team in Europe at the time, making chance after chance for him. Flopped badly at Juventus, failed to integrate into a different way of life and football system.

    Lineker did it with every club he played with, he'd have scored more at Barca if it wasn't for Cruyff crazy selection of him as a right winger.

    Scored a hatrick vs Real Madrid too, which made him an everlasting hero there. Thought, I was making things up ^, so I had to check .

    Lineker. Rush did it as part of the anfield machine, whereas Lineker proved he could do it at different clubs, in different leagues at different levels.
