Best Strike Partnerships in Championship History

Post by Nipples » Sun Jan 01, 2023 12:58 pm

Having a good old reminisce at the old Vings partnership it got me wondering who the best striker partnerships in Championship history are. I’m talking since it got made the second division of the country. Who would get on Mount Rushmore?

Kevin Doyle and Dave Kitson in that Reading side that broke all the records would be on for sure.

Jason Roberts and Nathan Ellington for Wigan. Deadly.

Ings and Vokes must be up there, 41 goals in 13/14.

Not sure if Championship history means second tier or just since it was rebranded as the Championship (2005ish?)

Phillips and Quinn was my first thought.

Goater and Wanchope 2001/02.

Edit - just reread the OP. But this division has always been the second tier, regardless of what its called.

Mills and Blake for Bradford or was that premier league?

I remember Roberts and Ellington - class for that level.

Todorov, Merson, Yakubu weren't bad for Portsmouth, when they were peak cheating financially..
