Fernando Torres
Fernando Torres, nicknamed "El Nino", joined Liverpool from Atletico Madrid in 2007 and announced himself as one of the most feared strikers in the Premier League, scoring 24 league goals in his debut season. Blessed with electric pace and clinical finishing, the Spanish forward formed a fearsome partnership with Steven Gerrard and quickly became a fan favourite at Anfield, scoring 81 goals in 142 appearances despite persistent injury problems. Torres left Liverpool for Chelsea in January 2011 in a deal that made him Britain's most expensive footballer at the time, but his early years at the club remain fondly remembered by supporters as some of the most thrilling attacking football of the era.
