Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Sasha Goryunov and special guest filmmaker and Liverpool fanatic Asif Kapadia, as they open up the Totally Extra almanac on Fernando Torres.
A boyhood Atletico Madrid fan turned hometown hero at his local club, Torres' lightning pace and prolific goalscoring earned him a move to Anfield where he quickly won the hearts of the Liverpool faithful and forged a special bond with Steven Gerrard.
A World Cup and Euros winner with Spain in arguably their greatest ever era, but injuries held him back as he he made the controversial move to Chelsea, before finishing his career back at Atletico and finally in Japan.
The panel ponder why despite not winning anything at Anfield and moving to a rival, El Niño is so loved on Merseyside.
Plus, Jimbo flicks through the Totally Almanac on this week and there's a Torres themed quiz question.
Produced by Charlie Jones, Lucy OIiva and Jesse Howard.
