i-Ram Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I was aged 11-15 during our real glory years, and worshiped our forward line but in terms of actual engagement, enjoyment and emotion I will forever be grateful for the days when Goddard, Saunders, Ted and Micklewhite were in their pomp. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Hulse and Commons struggled to get on the pitch together as a strike-partnership regularly but when they did they had a bad Derby side looking top six Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richinspain Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Hector, O'Hare and Hinton have to be the best I have seen, but really all of the successful partnerships have their own special place in my memories. George and Lee were sublime. Davison and Gee terrorised third and second division defences, but never really reached the same heights in the first division. Saunders and Goddard were an absolutely fantastic partnership, they had everything. Saunders was lightning quick and excellent in the air considering his height. Goddard had the touch of the Gods. He could control the ball at any height and pace, and his vision was truly fantastic. Sturridge, Gabbiadini and Willems again were fantastic in the second division. Sturridge, Wanchope and Biano had pace and skill against the best defenders in the Prem. As I said, Hector, O'Hare and Hinton were probably the best, but Saunders and Goddard supported by Callaghan, McMinn and Micklewhite were probably my favourites because I could appreciate them more as I was older. Still proud to be able to say that I remember the very best though and Hector was and always will be my all time favourite player. He wasn't called the King for nothing.

Happy days. Ditto, missed glory years by a smidgeon, so they were the best. Got smashed a few nights celebrating Wanchope, Sturridge and Baino, let’s not forget Deon too. But Goddard and Saunders best I can truly remember. As for O.P Bobby and Phil were fun but it was 2nd tier after all, though we did smash it with all those away wins and Cally and Micklewhite made us a cut above the rest that one year.

And note: not a winger amongst them, though Zak drifted out wide and Gemmill, from midfield, was everywhere down the left side of the pitch.

Did Connor Sammon and Theo Robinson ever lead the line together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Wanchope, Sturridge and Baiano. Short but sweet. Gary Neville reckons on song this was the toughest forward line he faced in domestic football- that's pretty good . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R@M Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Deano and Goddard for me too. To this day I think selling Goddard cost us an unfathomable amount and have never understood the rational. As an aside, I had the pleasure of meeting Phil, having a drink or too and even playing with him (twice...I think) and he was always a genuinely nice guy.

Millenniumram Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Not been watching anywhere near long enough to see some of our very best forward lines play that you’ve mentioned, but from what family members tell me about them, anything I say will pale in comparison! in the time I’ve been watching, particulary since I got more into it circa 13/14 p, we’ve pretty much exclusively played a 3 up front so I’ll have to go with one of them. Id probably go with: Russell Martin Ibe Sadly torn apart by liverpool all too early. Imagine Ince in for Russell when he joined and duck me you’ve got an attack there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper centre forward was Phil, and with Bobby alongside... Yes. He was brilliant at cutting in. He could brush aside any defender and paste most centre-halves. Defenders would feel like they were treading on eggshell when he was against them and his finish was pure silk. Or Vinyl Matt emulsion. Could get up high in the corners. Etc ?
