Liverpool's Fernando Torres has been named the Barclays Premier League player of the year by the Northwest Football Association, beating out a few illustrious names in the process...
Metro reports that Torres triumphed over the likes of Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo and Reds team-mate Steven Gerrard to claim the title, a feat which underscores his remarkable introduction to English football.
The Spanish striker arrived at Anfield last year and went on to score 33 goals in all competitions during his debut season, becoming the first Liverpool player to crack 20 league goal since Robbie Fowler in 1996.
Meanwhile, Ryan Giggs was dubbed footballer of the year after breaking Sir Bobby Charlton's long-standing appearances record for United when he stepped out during the Champions League final in May.
Sir Alex Ferguson was honoured for leading the Red Devils to a famous double, but David Moyes was crowned manager of the year after steering Everton to fifth place and UEFA Cup qualification last term.
