18. Sergio Aguero & Diego Forlan (Atletico Madrid)

Sergio Aguero and Diego Forlan joining forces at Atletico to rip it up was simply meant to be.

Four seasons together saw the two South Americans forge a fine partnership. In 2008/09, they scored a combined 49 league goals as Forlan won the European Golden Shoe. Underrated.


17. Alan Shearer & Chris Sutton (Blackburn)

Before Suarez and Sturridge, Shearer and Sutton were the original SAS.

Shearer bagged for fun in the Premier League, while Sutton ripped it up in the cups. They moved intelligently and operated on the same wavelength, proving endlessly fruitful as Blackburn won the 1994/95 Premier League.
