English football's best front two pairing

[No Ney Never]

Not sure if it's nostalgia, but in my lifetime it has got to be Ian Rush and Kenny Dalglish.

[ClaretTony]

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

[martin_p]

Burnley’s Heath Robinson attack takes some beating.

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

Anybody and Kenny Dalglish.

[Bin Ont Turf]

Frank Casper and Paul Fletcher

[Burnley1989]

Henry & Bergkamp/Anelka

[Vino blanco]

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

[No Ney Never]

Henry & Bergkamp/Anelka

What if you had to pick, Bergkamp or Anelka?

[cricketfieldclarets]

Yorke and Cole. Telepathic.

The goal at the nou camp (in the group stage) in 1999 was brilliant.

What if you had to pick, Bergkamp or Anelka?

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.

Have you been asleep for the past 10 years?

[No Ney Never]

Have you been asleep for the past 10 years?

Are you referring to Mane and Salah?

[Dyched]

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.

[Bin Ont Turf]

Have you been asleep for the past 10 years?

Every night.

[Dyched]

Are you referring to Mane and Salah?

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

[Malvern claret]

Maybe a bit of bias here but Lochead and Irvine

[FactualFrank]

Yorke and Cole. Telepathic.

The goal at the nou camp (in the group stage) in 1999 was brilliant.

They immediately came to mind.

[HahaYeah]

Keegan and Toshack.

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

[dermotdermot]

Anelka would have left before Henry arrived at Arsenal.

That’s right. Wenger sold Anelka for something like 20million to Real Madrid and replaced him with Henry for around 10million. A very good bit of business.

[Quickenthetempo]

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.

[Royboyclaret]

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.

Burnley’s Heath Robinson attack takes some beating.

Surely one of the shortest!

[bobinho]

And roundest...

[TheFamilyCat]

Eli & Conroy

[Hazzyclaret1955]

The most feared partnership: Wanchop Dickov

Best performed under anaesthesia...

[claretonthecoast1882]

While not the best Quinn & Phillips had a good partnership

[Alanstevensonsgloves]

Archibald and Crooks

[Malvern claret]

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.

Good article for PL partnerships

[Hibsclaret]

Withe and Shaw

So good they had a place named after them....

[redwasp]

You can always rely on royboy to bring
some sense to a topic. Pointer and Robson closely followed by Lochhead and Irvine.

[basil6345789]

Pointer and Robson, Irvine and Lochead and, eek, Pickering and McEvoy
