"Well kids, I played some of the best football of my generation, I was the best player at my club - which used to be great... though I didn't actually win anything..."
or would you rather say...
"well, if I recall correctly - and I do... three BPL.s, two FA Cups, and one European Champions League. Oh, and I was also the PFA player of the year twice and European player of the year once.Plus a few charity shields and other minor stuff."
Yep good point and Torres has won the CL and the Europa with Chelsea, but he will be forgotten by the club pretty quickly I would have thought. I wonder what legacy someone like Stevie G (trying to think of other players who stuck to one club) will leave. He will always be known as a Liverpool legend to any supporter of the club.
Yup, if you are loyal to a club and give your all you tend to be well remembered. I'd rather be Luis Garcia who gets invited back to every Liverpool FC event, testimonial and still associates with the club even after being sold than I would a Torres who has more burnt bridges than medals.
"So Grandad, tell me about your footballing career... why do you still spend so much time watching Liverpool and get invited to every event they hold?..."
"Because, I gave my all and have the respect of millions of loyal fans"
