I range from not caring for to outright hating almost half of that list, really not bothered to see most of them go.

How many years was Fernando Torres actually good for?
Really? They aren't that bad lol. I guess it might come down to when you started watching football.

Fernando Torres was absolutely world class at Liverpool, particularly in his first season. His peak might not have been the longest, but its not as though he was a one season wonder. And aside from that he had a few iconic moments after his decline, such as his last minute goal vs Barca.

When I read Javi Martinez that’s when I really started to get sad

Don't particularly care for, not necessarily in a negative way:
Bale, David Silva, Fernando Torres, Pique, Marcelo, Van Persie
Hate:
Suarez, Ramos, Sergio B, Dani Alves, Rooney, Benzema

That's just me though.

I've never watched him play much so I was just curious, and never at Liverpool. Maybe 8/18 seasons? From what I have seen though, certainly not close to someone that should be in a list for consideration for best of all time. That's not just a short peak, that's a drop off of a 90 degree cliff.

Lol this. Will be glad to see the back of many of them and that era can’t hold a candle to the stars from the 90s to the mid 00s
This 100%

From 1980s-2006 is unmatched. Too many legends, so much more parity in the game, and world cups were just incredible. From Platini and Maradona and Van Basten through Baggio, Romario, Zidane, Ronaldo, Del Piero, Batistuta to Ronaldinho, Shevchenko, Trezeguet, Nedved… it was just above and beyond. And that’s not even getting into more of the mids and the defenders of the era.

Honestly it's just what you grow up with. All generations have their star players. But they make a more lasting impact on you when you're 5-15.
