Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard will say farewell to the Premier League this weekend after over 1000 appearances and almost 300 goals between them.
The pair have been two of English football's greatest midfielders, consistently leading their clubs to glory, picking up silverware and plaudits along the way.
However, in an England shirt the pair rarely shone when playing together, with the 'Gerrard and Lampard problem' haunting several managers.
More commanding, more capable of changing a game. Lampard was a marvellous player but there is a reason why Sir Alex Ferguson once said Gerrard was the most influential footballer in England.
He could drive a team, and inspire as much with a crunching challenge as he could a charging run, a brilliant pass or a spectacular goal.
