When you think of football from years gone by, your mind may be drawn to the old-school traditions of the big man, little man combination in attack.

The likes of Jermain Defoe and Peter Crouch at Portsmouth and then Tottenham - they combined for nine goals throughout their careers - and also Manchester United pair Teddy Sheringham and Andy Cole, who combined for ten goals.

You also have the deadly duo of Emile Heskey and Michael Owen for England, who linked up for six goals.

However, in the modern era, there are very few signs of the old two up top strike partnership.

Some managers have preferred to adopt systems with lone strikers in a 4-3-3 or 4-5-1, where the frontman is the focal point on his own.

However, Wolves duo Raul Jimenez and Diogo Jota - standing at 6 foot 3 and 5 foot 10 respectively - are keeping the old tradition alive under Nuno Espirito Santo.

Transfermarkt reveals that the pair have combined for a huge 17 goals together at Molineux, where it seems that the Mexican's aerial dominance and physicality is the perfect foil for Jota's diminutive style in which dribbling and sneaky movement take precedence.

The Wolves pair have played 71 matches alongside each other under Nuno, sharing the pitch for a total of 4,632 minutes and to some effect - their efforts have helped the Midlands club qualify for the Europa League, reach the last 16 of the tournament and also has them sat sixth in the Premier League as things stand.

Jota and Jimenez earn 1.66 points per game for Wolves when on the pitch together, and they are very much keeping old traditions alive at Molineux in an age where few clubs are using the old-school striking set-up.

For true Wolves fans only: How much did each of these players cost?

That is credit for Nuno for being bold in his approach, and also testament to the striking duo for making it click.
