Best ever Rovers strike partnership

[Lesonthewest]

Kitch & Bren for me, awesome together. I just wish Ernie Moss would have come to us a bit earlier in his career, he Duggie were good together & were jockying for top scorer one season, sadly it was a short lived partnership. Didn't really get to see much of the Jeffrey/Sheffield combo, must have been good though. Funnily enough I met Laurie Sheffield yesterday.

There has been a good few partnerships since i started watching the Rovers....Laurie Sheffield and Alick Jeffery has to be number 1, but Big Bren and Kitch must come a close second.....and of course Billy Sharp all on his own would be a match for anyone

I can only go back to the 80's but think we would have won promotion with the Jones/Muir partnership before Jones' altercation and neck injury

Amen to that. Muir's first match in the JPT quarter final against Halifax was a phenomenon. He looked like a player from another planet. He absolutely bulldozed through the Halifax defence and hit the woodwork 3 times if my memory serves me.

Then the start of the 90/91 season was a joy to behold. Muir & Jones destroyed the opposition in the first 5 matches. I thought we were going to have the division sewn up by Xmas. I've never seen a partnership look as dominant as they were. Totally unplayable.

Even though we couldn't keep that form up, I'm convinced that we'd have got promoted that season if the two of them hadn't got serious injuries. I remember the feeling of gloom when Muir cracked his ankle at Northampton on a grizzle New Years Day and it started to sink in that the Goalscorers' Graveyard curse of OBV had hit again...

It was in this era that I really got the Rovers bug thanks to Jones and Muir (and a little help from Noteman). I thought it was absolutely amazing to see these two smash the oppo centre halves to pieces, it wasn't pretty but f**k me, did it work!

In my lifetime it has to be Kitch and Big Bren ,never saw Alick play
