Yes I am sure Palace fans will have zero interest in a book from a player, an extremely influential one at that, who played in Palace's greatest team, so will naturally will be really pissed off that he has bothered to write a book and then have the cheek to tell everyone.

That's not the point I was making, as you well know. A book launch isn't an announcement, it's a book launch. Interesting maybe but unimportant in the scheme of things.

[MFBias]

I admire Mark Bright, I wonder why people seem to have some issue with him on here.

Yes, in his helicopter whilst Bright was cradling his bollocks.



(I like MB by the way)

Ironically if he wasn’t still involved with the club people would falling over themselves to read his book...

Will probably be a good read to be fair

Yep ..its an announcement you are right ..An announcement about his. Book being launched , but still an announcement . Whats your problem with a very respected ex palace player doing this , bearing in mind a lot of palace fans will be keen to read it ? I wouldn't have known about this unless there had been an announcement . so perhaps this grounbreaking idea might just catch on for other authors eh ?

He should have brought out a book called 'Palace's banter strikers since the Wright & Bright era' - would have had a good chance of winning comedy book of the year.

Honestly don’t get some of the replies on here, it seems people just hate every aspect of the club.

One of the weirdest thing about this site, against some fairly stiff competition. He was one of the very best strikers of his type we've ever had, and seems a perfectly decent and intelligent bloke with a feeling for our club. I didn't know the back story about being taken into care, which as you say, makes what he's achieved seem even more admirable.
I get the jokes, just don't get the venom.

ha ha - it's people keeping themselves entertained. Nothing more.

MY STORY

The book that you all haven't asked for.

[Terrace Bickle]

He's more intelligent than the average footballer, so it could be an interesting read.

[Shipp Ahoy!]

I've met Brighty a few times and he was always a top bloke with some really interesting and insightful stories.

As nice as they come apart from giving a bit of banter as we were refereeing a football game he was coaching a side in

Personally I'd happily read it.

[bubbs11]

I never realised he had such a troubled start in life. He must’ve kept that well hidden as I’m sure I would’ve picked up on it somewhere along the line. Maybe I did and just forgot.

I don’t get all the jibes towards him too. Have had the pleasure in talking to him more than once over the years and always comes across as a personable guy...and he LOVES Palace and wants the best for us - like Parish. I just don’t get the negativity. I think some people need to address their own bitterness and jealousy’s before criticising others.

Can’t wait for the book to come out.

[palace_burger]

Never knew he was in foster care. Sounds like an interesting story also well done on his achievements.

I don’t get it either. I think it maybe because he is always with SP.

Bright at his best was miles better than any striker currently at the club

[Selhurst Celtic]

I love Bright, despite him playing for Millwall. His nutty celebration in the semi final when he scored, the rocket against Millwall to win 4-3, the fact he'd rough up so called hardman centre backs. I'll still take the piss out of him for his bromance with Parish, with no malice intended. And I'll read his book too.
