Part 6: Daniel Sturridge
“You need to look in the player’s eyes and see if they have that hunger, and he is coming off the back of being at a big club but one where he hasn’t played. He is coming here with everything to prove. As a manager that is what you want in your group” – Brendan Rodgers, January 2013.
We love our strikers, we Liverpool fans. Perhaps only that shower up the road can rival us in how we attach a talismanic and monarchical religiosity to our centre forwards. They had the Holy Trinity, we had God. They had the ascension of their false prophet in Cantona (well, he did **** all in Europe), we had St. Michael. They could call Van Nistlerooy their prince of the penalty box; pah, we had King Kenny. The list goes on. Liverpool currently have in their possession a centre-forward who can be mentioned in the same breath as those of our halcyon days and yet…well, he hasn’t quite entered our affections in the way that, say, Fernando Torres did after his debut season. My twelve year old son, only recently introduced to the heavenly torture that is supporting Liverpool, is the only person I know that lists Sturridge as his favourite player. Compare that with El Nino who, after less time plundering goals at Anfield, was instantly hailed as a legend in the making (the departing hero syndrome does explain some of this but not all).
