In the era of False 9s, lone centre-forwards and Rooney-like square pegs in round holes, the front two has lost its place in elite football's echelons - bar a few exceptions.

Yet growing up, we took strike partnerships for granted given that they were part of the natural order.

So this week on Team 33, we decided to look back on our favourite strike partnerships from the Premier League and beyond.

So, I chose the classic little and large combo of Niall Quinn and Kevin Phillips at Sunderland with a few stats to back-up how well they linked up in the 1999-00 season, while Joe Coffey explains why Arsenal's Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry partnership worked so well.

Adrian Collins and Killian Woods were also in this week's panel and they went for classic La Liga duos: Raul and Morientes (Real Madrid), and Nihat and Darko Kovacevic (Real Sociedad) with stats to back those up.
