Liverpool were one of the most successful clubs around the globe in the 70s, and the credit for bringing on that epoch of glory goes to none other than Kevin Keegan and John Toshack.

Nicknamed as Batman and Robin back in their day, the English duo was a nightmare for every defence they faced. John Toshack was a well-built striker posing an aerial threat and excellent goal-poaching skills, while his counterpart was a nimble player blessed with pace.

Toshack and Keegan dovetailed each other perfectly, netting 189 goals in 522 combined appearances from 1971 to 1977.

The European Cup victory in their final season together remains the greatest tribute to their celebrated partnership.

They set the founding stone for the success of Liverpool in the 70s. Their legacy would be carried on by another famous pair in the following decade, thereby keeping their dominance intact in the English top-tier.
