A time before Falcao's knees had been blown to bits and Hulk had wandered off to play everywhere except a top league.

In Portugal, the pair were electric together. Powerful, athletic and intelligent, the two linked up mercilessly and blitzed their way to a treble in 2010/11.

A national team entry, Salas and Zamorano struck up a bond for Chile throughout the 1990s that cannot be forgotten.

After not appearing at any of Mexico 86, Italia 90 or the 1994 World Cup, Chile were dragged to the 1998 finals thanks to Salas and Zamorano. The experienced Zamorano worked tirelessly, while a young Salas exploited defenders with pure pace.
