That was a partnership made in heaven (or Manor from Heaven) Fantastic memories, and a truly lethal strike force, what great days and nights in London Rd just waiting for either of them to score “We’re go na score in a minute” and we generally did. ?
With Peter RB, or Brock or Chicken pinging the balls in from the wings
 
N'toya was class and I won't have anybody say otherwise.
 
Elliott and Gilchrist were a decent partnership.

Elliott,. Man mountain, won everything in the air and great distribution.

Gilchrist, lightening fast and was able to cover for Elliott when forwards had got passed.
 
who ive personally witnessed,

Whitehead,
Baldock, Elliott, Nelson, Robinson,
Beauchamp, Maguire, Lundstum, Roofe,
Constable, Moody
 
Those of a certain age might cite the Arthur Turner side(s) that took just 7 years/seasons to go from non league starting from Headington United- Oxford United, to going up to old Leauge division 2 (The Championship now) and into the 70s.... including beating the then mighty Blackburn Rovers in FA Cup , and losing to PNE ( to one if not 2 disputed goals) on the way

best team from that era would be (for me)..

Barron
Beavon
Quartermain
Roberts
Kyle
Atkinson ( R)
Knight
Jones
Atkinson (G)
Calder
Harrington

No Substitutes till the 66/67 season ... applying the 7 sub rule of today, the bench would consist of :- Houghton, Shuker, Clarke (C), Sloan, Skeen, Evanson , Fearnley (gk)

Aldridge and Roofe would’ve been incredible with Dean Saunders and Billy Hamilton on the bench
 
Has to be the perfect partnership that actually played together in real life, Billy Hamilton and John Aldridge.

I was so lucky to be able to see this partnership in action.
Aldo actually said last year when interviewed that of all his striking partners Hamilton was his number one
 
What would the likes of Elliot, Joey, Houghton, Aldridge, Saunders be worth in today’s crazy transfer market?
