The last few decades have signalled the end of many a sacred tradition for the beautiful game.
However, while pies and pints may have long since bitten the dust, the classic strike partnership has made a comeback in recent years. Five of the eight instances when two players combined for a double figure Premier League tally occurred in the 20th century - four of which were between 1994 and 1996 - at the height of the 4-4-2 formation.

(Ian West/PA) Actor and playwright Chadwick Boseman died on August 28 aged 43, after being diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016. Boseman played superhero T’Challa in the 2018 Marvel blockbuster, Black Panther. Despite being diagnosed with cancer, he went on to star in a range of films, such as Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
The Boxer is the latest of Jim Sheridan s six rich stories about Ireland, and in some ways the most unusual. Although it seems to borrow the pattern of the traditional boxing movie, the boxer here is not the usual self-destructive character, but the center of maturity and balance in a community in turmoil. And although the film s lovers are star-crossed, they are not blind; they re too old and scarred to throw all caution to the wind.
The film takes place in a Belfast hungering for peace. It stars Daniel Day-Lewis (also the star of Sheridan s My Left Foot and In the Name of the Father ) as Danny Flynn, an IRA member who was a promising boxer until he was imprisoned at 18 for terrorist associations. Refusing to name his fellow IRA men, he was held captive for 14 years, and is now back on the streets in a city where Joe Hamill (Brian Cox), the ranking IRA man, is trying to negotiate a truce with the British.

Lesley Manville has enjoyed a stellar career on stage and screen, combining a formidable acting talent with an equally impressive work ethic.
One of her early roles was in what was then known as Emmerdale Farm, appearing in the ITV soap in the mid-1970s.
