Fernando Torres started his Liverpool career with a bang and is the most prolific striker in his debut season in Liverpool's post-war history as well as being the most prolific foreigner in his debut Premier league season. Torres averaged a goal every 1.40 games (46 games/33 goals) in the 2006-7 season. Injury robbed him of several games in his second season, but he still managed to score 17 goals in 38 games.
Torres came on as a substitute in his 100th game for Liverpool vs. Wigan Athletic on 16th December and scored his 61st goal in Liverpool's colours.
