#1 Andy Cole And Dwight Yorke

Of all the fearsome strike partnerships, none matched the aura and the menace of Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole. Both Yorke and Cole were understood to have a kind of telepathy between them on the pitch.

It is said that Cole and Yorke could find each other on the field with their eyes closed. With the footballing brain of the former, and the pace and crisp finishing of the latter, mixed with a unique personal friendship, the pair set The Premier League alight.

Their finest combination play was perhaps the winning goal against Juventus in 1999, which led them to the final, ultimately winning the league. The 1998/99 was their best season, in which they amassed a total of 55 goals for the club.

They were an important part of the treble-winning United squad.Of all the partnerships, theirs is regarded as perhaps the most exciting and enthralling in the history of the Premier League.

Honorable Mentions:

David Silva - Sergio Aguero

Wayne Rooney - Robin Van Persie

Steven Gerrard - Fernando Torres

Stan Collymore - Robbie Flower
