The great partnership is dying out a little, what with the obsession with one striker supplemented by an attacking midfielder.
We've obviously had some legendary ones - Rush & Dalglish, Keegan & Toshack to name just two, but a lot of strikers are totally synonymous with their partner. No-one can ever talk about Andy Mutch without referring to Steve Bull, for example.
At a similar time as Bull & Mutch, Mick Harford and Brian Stein made for a classic big man/little pairing in that successful Luton side.
Shearer and Sutton were a good pair but Shearer & Ferdinand were frightening. I remember one season they scored 25 goals each.
Your favourite strike partnerships please.
