Great player in his pomp. Absolute shame how injuries affected him. 

One of the best players I've seen play for Liverpool.

For me, he was the best centre forward on the planet for a time there at Liverpool.

Having watched Torres for practically his entire career, this makes me feel so damn old.

Was he the goalie?

He might as well have been that season, what an utter mess we were. El-Hadji Diouf out on the piss and still our best player.
