FERNANDO Torres says he is deeply honoured to be named Liverpool's player of the year for 2008.
In a poll conducted on Liverpool's official club website the Spanish striker took the honour, which was won last year by Jamie Carragher.
Torres told the ECHO: "I know that last season was a fantastic season for me. It was my first one at Liverpool and I really enjoyed it because of the goals I scored but also because of the support of the fans which helped me so much.
"When you play in a team with players like Stevie, Carra, Reina and Mascherano – in fact, any of my team mates – it is a big honour to be given this kind of award, especially because it was voted for by the fans.
*Fernando Torres won the watch from David M. Robinson for being voted LFC Player of the Year by visitors to www.liverpoolfc.tv for 2007/2008 season.
The watch is the new Breitling Super Avenger with white dial and a red Ocean Racer strap, which retails for £2,695.
