Excellent!
I do think Bent and Benteke could become a deadly duo, given the chance.

Couldn't choose. Yorke and Milosevic up there as well.

Atkinson and Saunders worth a mention too.

As good as Shaw and Withe were, in 1976/77 especially Gray and Little were absolutely fantastic to watch and would probably just have to give it to them

I think the partnership of Little and Leonard would have been right up there if not for injury.
That promotion season back under Saunders they were both unplayable and Leonard was superb at bringing Little and other players into the game.

Not forgetting Deehan: between the three of them they scored 84 goals that season, IIRC.

I wonder how many assists to those 84 goals ray Graydon had?

I only went to my first game in 76/77, so they were a bit "formative" years then for me.

Shaw and Withe without a doubt, early teens, first seaon tickets etc (you could have called me a glory-hunter back then!) and such a "hold on to your seats" time.  Fantastic!

Not many. Those lovely, cuddly purveyors of the Beautiful Game from Smethwick crippled him early on and he hardly played after that.

The 5-1 win over Liverpool stood out for me.
