Fernando Torres' Nike match worn boots. This special made to measure
boots were worn during the season 2009. Both boots are personalized with
"F. Torres". Before joining the Premier
League aged 23, Torres spent 12 years with hometown club Atletico
Madrid. Such was his
prodigious talent he was named the best U14 player in Europe following
his performances in the 1998 Nike Cup. Torres became the youngest player
in Atletico history upon making his debut in May 2001. He went on to bag
21 goals in 2003-04 after being named Vicente Calderon's youngest ever
skipper at the age of 19. Having already top-scored in European U16 and
U19 Championships, El Nino earned a first senior cap in September 2003
against Portugal. Seven months later he chalked up a first international
goal against Italy. The forward would go on to net three times in the
2006 World Cup in Germany.
