After the highs of the resurgent 1960s, Liverpool needed to build a new strike force the following decade. Enter Keegan and Toshack. Batman and Robin. Magnet and steel.

Keegan - an unknown quantity upon his signing in 1971, was the perfect partner for Toshack, and the two formed an unbeatable little and large duo that saw Liverpool lift league titles and European trophies.

Milan were responsible for bringing together two of Europe's brightest forwards and creating an obscene duo out of them.

Shevchenko became a hero with the Rossoneri following his 1999 signing, but found new levels when Inzaghi joined two years later. Together, the pair scored goals for fun as Milan regrouped under Carlo Ancelotti and won the 2003 Champions League.
