Kop icon Robbie Fowler believes Fernando Torres has the potential to establish himself as an all-time Anfield great.
The Spain striker has endured an injury-troubled season, but has still managed to find the back of the net on 14 occasions.
Fowler is confident there is more to come from the Reds' current number nine.
"In terms of Fernando Torres, he could be up there with the greats of Liverpool, like Ian Rush," said Fowler, who scored 183 goals in 369 appearances for Liverpool.
"His record has been fantastic since he came to the club.
"He is just a very, very good player and he scores all types of goals, which is really crucial to a forward. He doesn't just get tap-ins.
"So I can see him being up there with the best of them. I think he has got everything."
Fowler also spoke of his desire to see his former club win the race for the Barclays Premier League title this season.
"I am really, really hoping that Liverpool win it," he added.
"If you had asked me four or five weeks ago I would have said Liverpool would have no chance as Man United were playing well and were six points clear with a game in hand.
"But Liverpool, ever since beating Real Madrid in the Champions League, have been on an unbelievable run and I can't really see them getting beat for the rest of the season."
