El Nino succeeeds fellow Spaniard Mikel Arteta of Everton to win this accolade, and regards the award as a great personal honour.
"I know that Mikel won it last year because when I have been to his house I have seen the big trophy in his living room," he said.
"Now I am going to take the trophy to my own house and I hope to be able to win it again in the future because that would mean a lot to me.
"It is a privilege for me to receive this trophy because I know that it is a very important award for the people of this city and for the fans.
"When you look at the list of previous winners it is really special to have my name alongside theirs because everyone knows what people like Kenny Dalglish, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher mean to this club and to this city.
"They have all won it before me so to win such a special award after just two years at Liverpool and to be in the thoughts of many people gives me a really special feeling.
"It is always nice to win awards but the most important prizes of all in football are always team trophies.
"I came to Liverpool to win trophies and going two seasons without winning any is a long time for a club like Liverpool.
"The next one needs to be coming soon because we want to win for ourselves, for the club and for the fans.
"For me the team has improved over the last year and we are much closer to United than we were.
"We managed to get more points than any other Liverpool team since the Premier League began and I don't think there is any question that the team is improving and the club is improving.
"Now hopefully we will be able to keep the good players that we have here and also make some good signings in the summer because that would be fantastic for us."
Torres struck his 50th Liverpool goal against Tottenham on Sunday and admitted it was a great feeling.
"It is not easy to score 50 goals, especially when you are just in your second season at a club so I am very proud that I have done this," he said.
"But it is thanks to my team mates I have done this because they create my chances and support me every week.
"Now I want to keep scoring. I have my first 50 and this makes me really happy but now I want the next 50.
"The main thing for me now is to forget the injuries and then if I can play every game in the next season it will be even better for me."

Veloce traduzione:
Fer dice che è un privilegio per lui ricevere questo trofeo perché sa che è un trofeo molto importante per le persone di questa città e per i tifosi. Dice anche che per lui è speciale avere il proprio nome insieme a quelli di Kenny Dalglish, Steven Gerrard e Jamie Carragher che hanno vinto questo trofeo prima di lui. Aggiunge che è sempre bello vincere trofei individuali ma che nel calcio i trofei più importanti sono quelli vinti come squadra; spera quindi che la prossima stagione cominci presto perché la squadra vuole vincere per i giocatori stessi, per il club e per i tifosi. Spera anche che i bravi calciatori restino al Liverpool e che in estate si acquistino altri bravi giocatori.
Parla anche dei suoi 50 goals dicendo che non è facile segnare 50 goals, specialmente se sei solamente alla tua seconda stagione, per questo è molto fiero di quanto ha fatto; ma se ha segnato così tanto è grazie ai suoi compagni che lo hanno supportato e gli hanno creato le occasioni. Vuole continuare a segnare, testualmente “Ho i miei primi 50 e questo mi rende veramente felice, ma ora voglio i prossimi 50”.
GRANDE FERRRRR
Anche noi vogliamo i tuoi prossimi 50 e sono sicura che non tarderanno ad arrivare
Meritatissimo, senz'altro.
