Torres is a true thoroughbred - brilliant and beautiful but desperately fragile. Liverpool fans are ultra-protective of their star striker, as they are painfully aware that he is one of their few top-class players.

Off the pitch, Torres is a quiet, humble man who likes nothing better than to play cards and board games with his family - boring but true. No roasting and baby Bentleys for "El Nino".
