El Nino was firing on all cylinders while playing for Liverpool in the mid-2000s. Even though he has not recreated that form since 2010, Torres is still one of the most fondly remembered players in the history of the Premier League. In an era where Liverpool were fast declining, Torres was in the form of his life, making it into the FIFPro World Team of the Year and the PFA Team of the Year.
2008 saw Torres lift the UEFA Euro with his Spanish brethren, being nominated to the Team of the Tournament, as well as winning the Man of the Match in the final against Germany. He had also scored 36 goals in a mere 53 appearances in the 2007/08 season, which would be his final season providing at such a rate, with his contribution dropping to just 17 goals in 39 appearances the following season.
