Video: Fernando Torres wows the crowd in youth tournament

Fernandotorresmeetsfansafp_2Everybody loves Fernando Torres. The baby-faced assassin is a real fan favourite and most supporters would love to have him in their team. Here he is (left) signing autographs for caged children in Austria - sorry, young fans at Euro 2008.

He'll endear himself to you even more after you've watched him tear apart AC Milan during a rather well-attended youth tournament in 1996. See the action here.

What you'll notice in the video, apart from his 1980s wedge haircut, is that Torres' cheeky little noggin hasn't changed since he was a teenager and it actually suits his body when compared to the centaur-like physique he uses to gallop around pitches in the Premier League and major international tournaments nowadays.

Fabulous footage. The 4th (and Torres's 2nd is sublime and, as a Liverpool fan, has me smiling at the fact that the reason Sour Face didn't sign Torres was "lack of composure in front of goal".

Oh my sides !
