TORRES: WHY I'M LOVING LIVERPOOL LIFE
Fernando Torres has spoken of his love for the city of Liverpool and thanked the supporters for making him feel at home.
El Nino, who is away with Spain this week bidding to secure World Cup qualification, has become the darling of the Kop since his arrival two years ago - and he insists the respect works both ways.
"The people are so nice and polite here, and have a lot of respect for players when you are away from the pitch," he said.
"That is one of the main things for me. In Spain it was difficult for me to go to restaurants or just walk in the street with my friends.
"Now I can do these things and go to the park, walk my dogs and go out for dinner.
"It's a really working class city and I like that because I was born in a working class part of Spain.
"The people work all week and they go to the ground each weekend to enjoy the team. On the Monday they are working hard again just so they can see their team on the weekend.
"It's really special to see supporters with my name on their shirt. I can understand why they would wear a Stevie G or Carra shirt because they are from Liverpool.
"I only came here two years ago as a foreign player but they love me like Stevie or Carra. That's amazing and I have to say thank you to them for that."

Just a class act really, on and off the pitch.
