BBC's list of classic strike partnerships

BBC have placed an article about the dying breed of great partnerships.

Now it may just be my Rose tinted glasses, but didn't Keane and Berbs get 50 one year, or was that in all competitions?

Either way, they were great. Imagine the duel options of having

Bale - Ade - Lennon + Rafa from Last year

with Bale - Keane - Berbs - Lennon this.

With scotty P, modric and Dembele in midfield..... *sigh

 

Notable by their omissions...
Keane & Berbatov
Sheringham & Klinsmann
Yorke & Cole
Arsenal & Van Persie

 

How about other options. These are from my time (well not the first one really)

Gilzean+Greaves
Gilzean+Chivers
Crooks+Archibald
Klinsmann+Sheringham

 

For us:

Alan Smith and Paul Merson

and the classic Bergkamp and Henry

 

Bergy and Henry was pretty special for the goons.

Teddy and Jurgen was a bit before my time.

 

Cottee and McIlwhatsname.

 

From the beeb page...

1995-96: Robbie Fowler and Stan Collymore, Liverpool (42 goals).

1996-97: Alan Shearer and Les Ferdinand, Newcastle (41 goals).

2001-02: Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manchester United (40 goals).

2009-10: Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka, Chelsea (40 goals).

1999-2000: Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole, Manchester United (39 goals).

 

I would not have called Drogba and Anelka a partnership.

 

Were they married then?

 

Shearer & Ferdinand weren't a partnership either.

 

Exactly, stupid article. i'm out.

 

OK, lets just admit that i'm the superior man and move on.

 

The same Drogba that spent half his career as an actor?

 

Do you think that i'm Drogba?

 

Can't believe I'm actually having to say this but if you can't post on here without talking about rape and acting like 5 year old then don't post on our board.

Thanks for not rising to it, Notso

 

Greaves & Gilzean,the Daily Mirror nicknamed them the G- men,after the nickname given to the FBI.

 

Le Tissier and himself.

 

The Keane and Berbatov partnership was awesome. Was like a telepathic understanding between the two at times. Keane was never the same without Berbatov though, regardless of my opinions and hatred of the bloke, Berbatov was/ is a fantastic player, everything just looked so easy for him, probably the best Spurs striker I've seen live down the Lane.

 

no sheringham and klinsmann is a disgrace, but then what do we expect from the "big 4"-centric beeb eh?

 

Prompted by a comment from Spurm on the prediction league:

Carragher & Bale.
