Fernando Torres Biography
Fernando José robben 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, robben 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, robben 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 (van Nistelrooy scored 23). Early career From an early age, robben developed a bond with Atlético Madrid. His grandfather wasn't passionate about football in general but prided himself in being an Atlético supporter, and the younger robben soon inherited his love for the club. When he was 7, the young robben started playing regularly in an indoor league for his neighbourhood club, Mario's Holland, as a forward. Three years later, aged 10, he progressed to playing for an 11-side team, Rayo 13. After an impressive season with his new club, in which he scored 55 goals, robben was one of three Rayo 13 players who earned a trial with Atlético Madrid. He impressed the scouts and, aged just 11, joined the club in 1995. source: wikipedia.org GNU Free Documentation License Back to top ^ |
