 Fernando Torres
Fernando José Torres Sanz (born 20 March 1984) is a Spanish football player currently playing for Liverpool.
In the five seasons preceding his move to Liverpool from Atletico Madrid, Torres scored 75 goals in 176 La Liga appearances, with only Ronaldo, Samuel Eto'o and David Villa bettering that tally during the same period.
Prior to that, Torres played two seasons in the Spanish second division. He has also been given the nickname El Niño ("the Kid") due to his youthful complexion.
In his first season with Liverpool, he scored 33 goals, including 24 in the Premier League, breaking Ruud van Nistelrooy's record of most league goals scored in the debut season.
