If you were to think of a player whose achievements did not match the talent he showed on a football pitch, Fernando Torres at Liverpool would be one of the first that come to mind.
Signed from Atletico Madrid in 2007, Rafa Benitez brought the Spaniard to Anfield to kickstart a new era for the club. Liverpool needed goals to challenge the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea for the league title, and Torres was seen as the perfect fit.
His first two seasons saw him score 50 goals in 84 appearances. Torres was considered one of the best strikers in world football during his early years at Liverpool, and the club wanted to make sure he was appreciated as such.
