To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we take a look back at some of the best bromances in football over the years that have had formidable connections on the field.
There has been some great strike and defensive duos in recent times, with certain bromances leading sides to great success over long periods of time.
Take a look at our picks for the best bromances in football and comment below with your favourite!
Harry Kane and Heung-min Son
Harry Kane and Heung-min Son paired up to form a dangerous duo during their time at Tottenham Hotspur together, and they hold the current record for goal combinations in the English Premier League (47).
In a tough era for Spurs, the duo were pretty much their only hope at times during their time at the club together, and it would have been heartbreaking for the faithful when Kane left to join Bayern Munich in the 2023 summer transfer window.
Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole
Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole were at the forefront of Manchester United’s success during their time at the club under Sir Alex Ferguson and both played vital roles in the 1998/99 treble winning campaign.
The duo combined for a total of 35 goals in the league alone in the 98/99 season, and will certainly go down as one of the best bromances that we have ever seen in European football.
Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp
Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp had an undeniable connection on the field, with the latter being the creator and Henry being the finisher which formed a serious threat to opposing defences.
The talented duo won two Premier League titles and two FA Cups together and helped the Gunners reach their first ever UEFA Champions League final, which certainly puts them down as one of the best bromances that have ever graced Europe.
Xavi and Andreas Iniesta
Xavi and Iniesta formed one of the most breathtaking duos we have ever seen, they featured 440 times together and have a remarkable win percentage of 71.1%.
The Spanish duo won an astonishing amount of trophies together, including the World Cup, two European Championships, two Champions League’s and countless La Liga titles.
