Just watching Spurs v Arsenal.
Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min have again assisted each other to make it 2-0 to Spurs at half time.
Genuinely can't think of a better partnership and understanding between two attacking players?

Rush and Dalglish?

They are brilliant, the top five of the premier league era must be
Sutton and Shearer
Henry and Bergkamp
Rooney and Nistelrooy
Kane and Son
Fowler and Collymore

Loads to pick from but for what I've seen from a Cardiff point of view, pike & Dale but Thorne and Earnie edge it for me. Pure unselfish work from Thorne doing a lot of dog work for Earnie. Happy times.

I think although only one season, Suarez and Sturridge has to be the ultimate partnership they were immense and absolutely destroyed the city in that 6-3 game

If I remember correctly, the scoreline was as much a result of inept or more accurately naive defending than unplayable brilliance by Suarez and Sturbridge. Think they played on Declan John's lack of experience in that game.

The OP mentions Son and Kane and this season they are the most clinical partnership I can ever remember. Their ball control, speed of thought, decision making and finishing puts them on another level. I used to think Son was somehow underrated but he has put so many teams to the sword, that is no longer the case. I don't want to like Kane because he is an English international but he is genuinely world class and as centre forwards go I would now put him on a par with Lewendowski.

From the lower leagues you'd have to say Bristol rovers players Bruce Bannister and Alan Warboys (Smash and Grab), they scored 133 goals between them for rovers and in the 1973/74 season were the reason rovers went 32 games unbeaten. Older city fans will remember Warboys from his time with us, he was signed as a replacement for John Toshack.

Warboys formed a great partnership with Brian Clarke and had an amazing half season with us, scoring twice on his debut against Sheff Wed, the side we signed him from and 4 against Carlisle including three inside the first ten minutes. As you say he was signed as a replacement for Toshack but unfortunately we waited six weeks or so and that spell possibly cost us promotion. In fact had he signed earlier its not beyond the realms f possibility that we could have done a promotion- cup winners cup double because I believe he was signed too late to play against Real Madrid(there was a 2 month waiting period on new signings in those days in Europe).
For some strange reason both Clarke and Warboys never clicked the following season and we nearly went down!
