Today former Dutch footballer Dennis Bergkamp celebrates his birthday. Besides being a star player for his national team he was known for his brilliant combination with Thierry Henry at Arsenal during his English Premier League stint. Today we give you five of the most successful strike partnerships to have graced the English top flight since it was launched in 1992.

Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry (Arsenal; 1999-2006)

A classic partnership, elegant number 10 Bergkamp and thoroughbred striker Henry linked up under Arsene Wenger at Arsenal and inspired the club to a flurry of trophies. Bergkamp was never particularly prolific, but the Dutchman's vision and ability to weigh a pass made him a perfect partner for the jet-heeled Henry, who became the club's all-time leading scorer. They scored a combined total of 200 league goals during their time together in north London, notably inspiring Arsenal to an unbeaten title-winning season in 2003-04.
