Liverpool has been home to some of the best strike partnerships in its glittering history. The exploits of John Toshack and Kevin Keegan surely won't be forgotten while Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge have also given the Kop some memories worth cherishing.

However, the one duo that is fondly remembered at Anfield has to be that of Ian Rush and Kenny Dalglish. The pair spearheaded an epoch of glory in the 80s, safeguarding the legacy of the club and carrying on the noble work started by Toshack and Keegan.

They won loads of titles, but the high point of their careers as strike partners came in 1983-84 season when they lifted the league, the League Cup and the European Cup, a feat that was never achieved by any English club before.

Ian Rush was known for deadly goal-poaching skills which were complemented perfectly by the silent orchestrator that was Kenny Dalglish. Having played from 1980 to 1987, they rattled the net 300 times in 665 games together.
