Torres: Barclay's Most Popular Player by tocdee(m): 1:34pm On Dec 11, 2008

Fernando Torres is the Premier League's most popular player, according to a survey of fans carried out by Barclays. The league's main sponsor asked 32,000 fans from 185 countries who their favourite player was - and El Nino came out on top.
 
Torres polled 38 per cent of the votes to pip teammate Steven Gerrard and Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.
 
Barcelona winger Lionel Messi won the overseas player fans would most like to see in the English top flight with 54 per cent of the votes.



I think he's popular because of his likeable character. The guy has got a humble air about him unlike a certain Cristiano cool Ronaldo.

There's no need to take it personal, after all Ronaldo isn't even remotely related to you. Can't you just read quietly? I think life's beautiful, maybe you should too. Where did I call the award 'Important'? Just reporting some stat news ahead of the weekend. Any harm in that?

Unto more 'unimportant' things: I saw this picture of Gerrard and I almost fell off my seat laughing! grin grin Can you spot him?

You do realise that there's a subtle difference between being 'Popular' and being 'Famous'. Popular Has to do with being liked/accepted by many while famous is being known by many people.

This statement epitomises MUPPETRY.

Awards for the most popular player?? Where??
I am sure the survey was done in Liverpool. . . . .This is why u have cunts like Gerrard and Torres leading the pile.
Is Torres popular than Emmanuel Eboue in the UK?? I doubt that.

Torres beats RONALDO??

You're not very smart, are you? People that throw mud at others should at least have some sense to back up their ranting. Go look up the meaning of 'popular'. The poll was carried out by Barclays with 32,000 people from 185 countries . If that covers just Liverpool then you really should be tucked up in bed by now.

You are a dork. . . . . .32,000 people from 185 countries ma foot!!!
Were u interviewed?? Barclay's would say whatever to back up their claims they went to 185 countries to ask people who the most popular player in the PREM is. . . . .U must be an IDIOT to believe such nonsense. Where is the RAW DATA??
Where is the stats showing what EACH country voted??

Nonsense!!!

@sauron,

why do u find the results hard to believe. You of all people should know that many people don't like ronaldo.

And how can u put eboue before torres?

All i am saying is 38,000 is too low a number to provide an accurate picture of who the most popular player is in the PREM.
60,000 fans watch Eboue week in week out at the Emirates and Barclays can only provide 38,000 opinion poll??
Where is that done??

I agree. Torres is VERY easy to like. His first season was a BLAST unlike as u said, a certain ronaldo, he does appear to be humble and he z my fav striker even though am NOT a liverpool fan
