[Albion] Maupay/Connolly - our best striker "gelled" pairing since....????

[*Gullsworth*]

More likely Connelly was really injured by that challenge and they switched subs.

Yes I thought at the time Connelly looked injured to me. Maybe not because of the accidental stamp on his foot causing damage to his foot but the resulting sprain on his ankle as he attempted to move from that position.

Before my time, and the only rivals to Barnes and Murray were Adrian Thorne plus one whose name escapes me. Thorne is still alive and 82 according to wiki! Amazeballs.

Thorne (who actually played left half) and Harburn? Thorne and Curry? (Both deceased, sadly)

Duplicate post.

John Shepherd who passed away a couple of years ago was top scorer in the 1958 promotion season. ��

No he wasn't. He came from Millwall after we were promoted. Peter Harburn and Dave Sexton were our joint top goal-scorers in the promotion season (20 goals apiece).
I think he was a replacement for Harburn, who got a big move to Everton (which didn't go that well).

I stand corrected. Could have sworn he was in the 1958 team celebration pic.

In my lifetime:

-Zamora & Steele. The bustling Lee Steele was a great accompaniment to the general class on Zamora
-Knight & Benjamin/Iwelumo. Both similar partnerships but I actually think the short lived Benjamin partnership was the better one for Knight. He always needed a big lad alongside him and both were very good big strikers.
-Murray & Forster. Probably my favourite combo from this list. I absolutely loved Nicky Forster and think he's one of our greatest ever strikers. These two were such a clever partnership- the wily fox in the box Forster alongside the graceful and poised Murray. Brilliant
-Murray & Barnes. Banged in a lot of goals in that League One title season with a strong supporting cast behind them. This was Murray's best season in his first spell and a young Ashley Barnes added a lot
-Murray & Baldock. Baldock wasn't prolific but this was by far his best season. The Murray & Hemed partnership never really got going but as soon as you replaced either of them with Baldock sparks started to fly. His industry and pace resulted in so many goals that season

I'd take Murray and Forster over Barnes and Baldock.
