    Bobby and John for me too. (Is John Hawley still involved in family antiques business in Beverley?)

    Not saying they were the best but first partnership I remember enjoying was big Joe Cooke and Bernie Wright. Used to love watching Bobby Campbell with Hawley, can still clearly see Bob towering above both centre backs and nodding in another great cross from John Hendrie - happy days! :)

    Bobby is probably my favourite player of all time and I have seen a few. But albeit over a short period I think Mills and Blake were the best partnership

    Blake and Mills for me, followed by Campbell and Hawley, followed (for one magnificent game against Carlisle away in 1985) by Campbell and Aidey Thorpe- the new Kevin Keegan!

    Rod Green is the first striker I have any clear memories of, he used to get a lot of stick from some of the Bradford End but even at that young age I would sort of frown and think well he's scoring at least. Ah the innocence of youth as apparently it still doesn't always count.

    Checking on Wiki it appears in his second season he scored 39 out if 66 appearances, was looking for who partnered him, as my memories of those first few games are hazy to say the least, but no luck.

    Steve Claridge & Andy Cooke.....

    Or possibly.... Hanson & Wells - certainly the pair that brought me the most joy.

    Or anyone who played with Barry Conlon

    Seeing Bobby getting a bunch of mentions, did he play with Don Goodman as well. Don was massively underrated for us. His scoring record after leaving us was pretty good. Seem to remember him tearing Kenny Burns a new one when he came on at VP years ago. Old Burns looked like he was running in treacle as Don left him for dead to score at Bradford end.

    Rankin only scored 4 goals during his time at City.Not one of Geoffs best investments.
