Very simplistic comparison, since there was no subbing in JB's day. Joe will have played near enough 156 full games. Van Persie has started 175 games for Arsenal.

Joe was definitely better - not for statistical reasons, but because he played for us.

Taken from us too early. One of the best to ever grace the ER turf and a real gentleman by all accounts.
Rest in Peace Joe
