DAVID PRENTICE: Fernando Torres record makes him one of Anfield’s greatest
ASK for a list of Anfield's greatest ever goalscorers and the same, familiar, names are trotted out like a mantra.[LNB]Rush, Fowler, Hunt, Dalglish, Owen, maybe Hodgson and Liddell if you're a proper student of Anfield marksmen.[LNB]The order may change, depending on your age, but not the names.[LNB]One voracious goal-getter who should always be included, but is often overlooked, is John Aldridge.[LNB]And that has always astonished me.[LNB]Aldridge's goalscoring record, wherever he played, is a phenomenon of the modern sporting age. And at Anfield he was at his prolific peak.[LNB]Which is why Fernando Torres' record deserves open-mouthed amazement.[LNB]The goal Torres clipped past Chris Kirkland on Wednesday night was his 61st in his first 100 Liverpool matches.[LNB]That exactly matches the strike ratio achieved by Aldridge.
