No man is a prophet in his own land, ask Fernando Torres about it. He, who joined Liverpool has matured a lot as a player and has become a Premier League star. With 21 goals on the Premier, the Spanish player is succeeding and developing a well known play style in Spain, but not admired as much as in England nowadays. Fernando Torres, the young natural from Madrid who started to shine on Atletico de Madrid, has become a fundamental player for Liverpool and Premier League while also competing to achieve the title of Golden Boot. Only Luiz Fabiano is opposing him with 23 goals.

The Torresfever as it’s known in England the passion for Fernando Torres, has become a new fashion of the current season, where match after match all talk about how wonderful is the Liverpool’s striker performance. His coach, Rafa Benítez, qualifies him as one of the best world’s strikers because “to score so many goals is not easy, even less for a recently arrived foreigner like Fernando. It is great for him and wonderful for the team”.




With this, Fernando Torres is the second more chanted name by Liverpool’s supporters, behind the so loved captain Steven Gerrard. With only the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals and the last Premier League matches left, we will see how many goals will Fernando score!

If we had to tell which team has got the best fans, we would say Liverpool (with the exception of Celtic). What a coincidence…! Both teams have got the marvellous hymn of “You’ll never walk alone” (which is singed before every match by everyone that is in the stadium, no matter if it’s CelticPark or Anfield), and they also share the hobby of drinking as much beer as possible (before, during and after the match). (Listen Liverpool’s fans singing “You’ll never walk alone”)

When fans of any team like (or love) a player, because he is fantastic, they use to say (in chorus) his name, but in Anfield, they not just say the name, they try to look for a piece of a song and create a lyric to sing him. Is really impressive the creativity of the kop (Liverpool fans)!

Many songs have been created for Spanish players that are playing in Liverpool, today we will focus in Torres’ song (Xabi Alonso and Luis Gracia have also got one, but no-one have been created so quickly as the Spanish striker) There are 2 versions, with the same music, but with different lyrics. Now in Spain there’s an ad in TV with this song, is called “Ants go marching” (in the ad… “los animales de dos en dos ua… ua…”). Whach ad). The two versions of the lyrics are:

His armband proved he was a red, torres torres
You’ll Never Walk Alone it said, torres torres
We bought the lad from sunny spain, he gets ball, he scores again
Fernando Torres, Liverpool’s number 9

Fernando Torres came from Spain, Olé, Olé
He came to make us great again, Olé, Olé
The Spion Kop will roar him on
He scores the goals and he scores for fun
And we all get blind drunk
When Torres scores a goal
