As paying football fans, the one thing you want (after the three points) is to be entertained. In the deadly duo of Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry, the red half of north London was treated to weekly showings of two geniuses at work.

The two centurions weren't just a focal point of the unforgettable Invincibles team, the two of them tore defences apart for several seasons in both the Premier League and European competition. In fairness to Tottenham, they have been able to enjoy the scoring exploits of Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane, as well as the quality of Dimitar Berbatov. However, nothing quite matches the unparalleled brilliance of the flying Frenchman and the non-flying Dutchman.

In terms of beauty and goalscoring ability, you'd have to go a long way to better the Henry-Bergkamp partnership and the perfect pairing are the toast of the Premier League era. Unless you're a Spurs fan - in that case, they are your biggest envy of the last 20 years.
