English football's best front two pairing
Not sure if it's nostalgia, but in my lifetime it has got to be Ian Rush and Kenny Dalglish.

Spurs had a decent pair in the 60s - Gilzean & Greaves

Burnley’s Heath Robinson attack takes some beating.

You're right, Henry and Bergkamp takes some beating for pure quality.

Yorke and Cole. Telepathic.
The goal at the nou camp (in the group stage) in 1999 was brilliant.

Re: English football's best front two pairing
Bergkamp is the best foreign forward player that has played in the Premier League, closely followed by Zola.

Anelka would have left before Henry arrived at Arsenal.

Re: English football's best front two pairing
I always thought Aguero and Dzeko was a great combination in recent years.
Nobody really plays a front 2 anymore. I see Pires and Henry more of a pairing than what Henry and Bergkamp were.
I’ll bend the rules and pick Drogba/Lampard around 2004/06.

I thought he meant foreign players in general and not just forwards. I’d put Drogba above Zola.

This is the Up The Clarets message board, it can be who ever you want, but I'm more interested in forwards.

Re: English football's best front two pairing
Rush was good. Can't remember Dalglish sticking out in his later years that I would of watched.
I would pick Shearer and Beardsley for me.

Not sure who they played for but a certain Ray Pointer and Jimmy Robson scored 124 goals (66 & 58) in three seasons '59/'60 to '61/'62.

Re: English football's best front two pairing
They were responsible for a lot of disappointment in Burnley in 61/62 and did not have the ability of many others mentioned on here but Ray Crawford and Ted Phillips were very effective for Ipswich.
