Erm, they were superb? Absolutely perfect attributes for a partnership.

 

[Mellotron]

Quite shocked this one hasn't been mentioned.

Henry & Bergkamp. Surely the classiest strike force of all time.

I thought this thread was titled 'best double act'!?

When you're quoting partnerships, like Sheringham and Shearer which very nearly delivered Euro success, Heskey/Owen was almost fleeting and entirely down to whether Owen was in form or not. Heskey's 7 goals in 62 appearances is evidence of that. You may as well say Beckham/Owen was the better partnership in terms of goals and assists.


...and now you've gone from saying Heskey/Owen was superb to then quoting Henry/Bergkamp. If H&O were superb, then there aren't superlatives in the English language to describe Henry and Bergkamp.

The best double act I've ever seen are my mate and his wife when they've had a couple of beers.

 

[public school boy]

Hitler and Goering.

In terms of a double act complementing each other, very few strike forces are as made for each other as Heskey and Owen. The fact you mention Heskey's goals record suggests you are looking at them very differently to me. Heskey is one of the most unselfish players ever to play for England.

Paul Scholes was unselfish and still managed 14 goals from 66 games from midfield!

You've probably answered this yourself though really with the 'Heskey and Owen were made for each other'. In a romantic notion of the big strong striker being able to hold it up, knock it through to set it the nippy no.9 then yes they were made for each other. The reality wasn't quite as good as the romance, neither for club or country. Good partnership, yes. Great or superb, no.
