Fernando Torres to make Liverpool return looking totally different after incredible body transformation

Fernando Torres turns 40 today and the former Liverpool striker is set to pull on a red shirt again when he turns out for the legends team on Saturday.

Torres will line up against Ajax for his first game back at Anfield since playing in a special charity match between Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard in 2015.

The Spaniard was beloved during his time at Anfield after signing for the Reds from Atletico Madrid in 2007, scoring 81 goals in 142 games in a three and a half year spell with Liverpool.

But a £50m move to Chelsea in January 2011 made him public enemy number one among Liverpool supporters, leaving the club after the turmoil of Hicks and Gillett's ownership and subsequent sale to Fenway Sports Group.

He'd later return to Atletico Madrid before retiring after a stint in Japan, while building bridges with Liverpool fans with an appearance in that friendly at Anfield in 2015 and also returned since as manager of Atletico Madrid's youth team.

And in that time during retirement, Torres has undergone another transformation, bulking up considerably after putting in the hours in the gym.

Here's a look at Torres' long career from skinny teenager to strongman manager - as well as Liverpool hero, to villain and back again.
