best ever spurs strike partnerships

[VegasII]

Gay Doc was often played up front on his own as well...seems the Raincoat thought he could be Clive Allen II while our strikers were injured.

Postiga = shit.
Iversen wasn't too bad. Armstrong much better than people remember.

Personally I'd go for Rory Allen & Neale Fenn...absolute dynamite.

 

[werty]

Keane and Berbatov is the only great partnership I've seen and what a partnership that was.

 

[doubledecker]

Would have been worth a poll. The fact that Klinsmann said that Teddy was his best ever strike partner is good enough for me.

SPOT ON

That has to be the poorest front line we've probably ever had. How did it ever come to that??

Ian Moores and Colin Lee were not great either. One game against Bristol Rovers where they scored a lot of goals in a 9-0 second division game was a freak. The rest of the time they were a joke partnership. Compared to Moores Gary Doherty was a top player.

Keane and berbs was awesome even though it was short lived

 

[johnmc]

Greaves and Gilzean for me. A match made in heaven. Ah! the good old days.

 

[Bonjour]

Keane - Berbs and Sheringham - Klinsmann were both world class partnerships.


Also Clive Allen - Clive Allen deserves a mention.

 

[crazyteknohed]

worst i saw was postiga / iverson / doherty !!!

Overall quality (or lack of) yes, but I'd say Razsiak & anyone was worse as it really was like playing with ten men.

 

[Spirit58]

Greaves and Gilzean were streets ahead of the others, Gilzean was terrific in the air.

Some of the others mentioned were very good but not in the same class in my opinion.

Ah, but it was fun to watch wasn't it DT?

You are right . In fact the whole season in div2 was fun until we nearly blew promotion at the end ! Needing a draw away to promotion rivals Brighton ( and getting it 0-0 ) was one of the most nerve wracking days as a Spurs fan. I remember whenever we got behind that year Perryman left his spot in the back 4 to go up front . Didn't say much for our strikers ! We signed Don Mccallister and he has to be up there with our worst ever centre backs . We had some good players amongst them though - as well as Perryman there was Peter Taylor, John Duncan, Neil Mcnab and a young Glenn Hoddle. We played some good football that season.

 

[Huddlestone22]

In my life time (18 years) I'd say Keane & Berbatov they just clicked so well.

Seeing the different choices on the best ever spurs xi's got me thinking about the most effective striker combinations ever. Not necessarily as individuals but in partnership.

Ones that come to mind are :

Smith and Greaves ( though I never saw them )
Greaves and Gilzean
Chivers and Gilzean
Archibald and Crooks
Sheringham and Klinsmann
Kanoute and Defoe
Berbatov and Keane

Maybe I've forgotten some but I would still go for Greaves and Gilzean as they complemented each other perfectly. I do think that Archibald and Crooks neither of who would be thought of as great strikers individually were a vastly underrated partnership.

You can't argue with the goals (and before Greavsie's arrival Smithy had an excellent partnership with Les Allen), but Gilzean seemed a more natural partner for Greaves.

 

[TheBigMatch]

Berbatov and Keane. Worth £50m together. Shame it couldn't last.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Crooks and Archibald for me.

who was clive allen's most successful partner?

greaves and gilzean havea massive reputation.

in my era berba and keane. for quality and quantity of goals. for intelligent and stylish attacks

 

[Garm]

In my time as a fan (from the mid-80's) I think the best I've seen must be Keane and Berba.

On another note, I think Sheringham (in his best days) and Defoe would have made a lethal combination.

Clive Allen

 

[frodo]

Berba and Keane. They will never find better partners.
