Phil Brown's comment in his Echo interview after the Peterborough match that he had stuck with Cox and Fortune up front because they have developed such a good mutual understanding set me thinking about great partnership pairings in attack and in central defence that I have seen over the course of my 50 years watching professional football at all levels of the game. In the top division I can think, off the top of my head, of Alan Gilzean and Jimmy Greaves up front at Spurs, Malcolm Macdonald and John Tudor up front at Newcastle and Jack Charlton and Norman Hunter at the back for Leeds.
What would you regard as the most effective Southend United central defensive and strike partnerships that you have seen over the years?
I'll set the ball rolling with Gary Moore and Billy Best up front and Pat Scully and Spencer Prior at the back.
