#3 Fernando Torres
The striker who spearheaded Spain’s attacking force in three major tournaments, thereby firing the Red and Yellow brigade to glory in two European Championships and one World Cup, spent a lion’s share of his club career at Atletico Madrid before heading to Liverpool and Chelsea. He finally returned to the Madrid-based side after mediocre shows in Milan and silent days at Chelsea towards the end.
His days at Atletico Madrid in his second spell were numbered as all he could manage from 58 matches were 13 goals.
However, in the twilight of his career, El Nino finally chose to switch from popular world leagues to Asia’s most renowned league, as he donned on the jersey for Sagan Tosu.
His first goal for Sagan Tosu came against Vissel Kobe in the fourth round of Emperor’s Cup. Despite not being in good shape and with his goals drying up, Torres managed to bag 5 goals from 35 games, before finally pulling the plug on his career.
Sagan Tosu showed signs of improvement with the Spanish striker upfront, but lack of proper support in the midfield left Torres begging for opportunities.
