THE LIST: Sport's greatest partnerships, Nos 20-11
Two heads are better than one, in sport as so often in life.
Where would Blackburn Rovers have been in 1994 without the SAS - Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton?
But it's not just team-mates that make up great sporting partnerships. What about the bond between head coach Clive Woodward and captain Martin Johnson that helped deliver the rugby World Cup for England in 2003?
Even in individual sports, the headline-grabbing icon often has an essential aide, such as with the double act enjoyed between a golfer and his caddie.
Sportsmail pays homage to the combinations that clicked for the latest edition of The List.
20 Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms
Robertson and badminton mixed doubles partner Emms grabbed the country's attention when they claimed silver medals at the Athens Olympics in 2004.
Before their success in Greece they won gold at the European Championships in Geneva, and they followed up their triumph two years later claiming more golds in both the Commonwealth Games and the IBF World Championships.
Regarded as the Torvill and Dean of their sport, their partnership lasted seven years and they were credited for raising the popularity of badminton in England with their exciting play, from classy drop shots to nonchalant smashes clocking up 200mph.
19 Ian Rush and Kenny Dalglish The famous Liverpool duo lit up football in the 1980s with a lethal partnership.
The pinnacle of the two greats' partnership was a combined 42 goals in the title-winning season of 1982-83.
Across nine seasons the Welsh-Scottish double act notched up an incredible 334 goals, at a rate of over 0.5 per game.
18 Arkle and Pat Taaffe The greatest horse-rider partnership ever, Arkle's achievements were unparalleled and in Taaffe the horse had an ideal jockey to maximise his potential as a natural athlete and spirited jumper.
The pair dominated racing in the 1960s and together they celebrated victories in three Gold Cups and an Irish Grand National.
Arkle possessed such a talent that a new range of weights had to be created to accommodate the heroic horse.
17 Joe Montana and Jerry RiceSan Francisco 49ers Joe Montana and Jerry Rice went down in history as one of the greatest passer and catcher partnerships in American football.
The quarterback and wide receiver were one of the most spectacular combos in history - in total they shared a successful seven years in the NFL.
16 John McEnroe and Peter FlemingThe American pair formed a powerful partnership winning a spectacular 57 men's doubles titles, four of which were at Wimbledon and three at the US Open.
Fleming always remained modest about his contribution to the partnership, stating that 'the best doubles partnership in the world is John McEnroe and anybody else.'
15 Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde The Australian 'Woodies' were officially the most successful men's doubles partnership in history.
Together they racked up 61 doubles tournament victories,
including 11 Grand Slams.
The legends' other career highlights were clinching a gold medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and finishing runners up in the following Olympic Games in Sydney.
14 Wes Hall and Charlie Griffith The Windies new-ball partnership of the 1960s struck terror into the hearts of batsmen.
The duo unsettled their opponents with fast and furious yorkers and a peppering of bouncers.
Hall became the first West Indian to take a Test-match hat-trick and took 192 wickets in his 48 Tests.
Griffith claimed 94 Test wickets, 32 of which came against England in only his first major series at a devastating average of 16.
The double act did not survive without controversy, however, as Griffith's action came under scrutiny in 1962.
They remained great friends after their respective retirements and moved into coaching careers in their native Barbados.
13 Gareth Edwards and Barry John Considered by many as the greatest fly-half in the history of rugby. 'The King' formed a perfect partnership with scrum-half Edwards.
They were prominent in the dominant Welsh team of the 60s and 70s. Edwards possessed ideal attributes as a finisher and try-scorer: pace, agility and strength.
The pair appeared inseparable in action with an inspired knowledge of each other's game.
12 Muhammad Ali and Angelo Dundee The two names will forever be intertwined. The boxing legends worked together for a successful 21 years.
Dundee was a rock for the champion, an undeniably committed mentor and trainer and was responsible for many of Ali's famous punching combinations.
Arguably Ali would not have been the complete champion he was without the inspired leadership of a man whom Howard Cosell claimed to be the 'only man in boxing to whom I would entrust my own son.'
11 Jim Laker and Tony Lock The famous spin twins led England to many a success on the outfield - the former will be best remembered for his Ashes heroics at Old Trafford in 1956 when he took 19 wickets for only 90 runs.
Laker's achievements were that more unbelievable in that Lock, equally as talented a wicket-taker, was bowling at the other end.
The off-spinner/leg-spinner partnership worked to a great success in tandem and combined they picked up an unfathomable 4,788 wickets in first class games.
