He was definitely a more aggressive player than Lineker, as well as being the taller and stronger of the pair. The only thing Lineker probably had on him was basic speed and positioning for the easy tap ins but Van Basten added so much to a team in so many other areas, plus his goalscoring record at club level is better than Linekers. Lineker -461 (239) Van Basten -280 (218) And there's not much in it at international level.
