| Luis Suarez, an instant hero in the Reds' 2-0 victory against Stoke City |
The Uruguayan made a £22.8million move to England from Ajax in the January transfer window as part of Kenny Dalglish's plans to rebuild the 18-time champions of England.
And, although he began the match among the substitutes, Suarez could not have announced himself in any better fashion than with a goal at The Kop end following his 63rd minute introduction.
Wearing the No.7 shirt made famous by Dalglish and Kevin Keegan, the striker could yet see the Premier League's dubious goals panel deny him his 79th minute strike following the intervention of Andy Wilkinson, but he still claims the spotlight.
Raul Meireles had put Liverpool in front in the 47th minute, while injured £35m-man Andy Carroll was watching from the stands having been signed on deadline day as a replacement for new £50m Chelsea striker Torres.
Luis Alberto Suárez Díaz was born 24 January 1987 at Salto (Uruguay) is a striker of Uruguay national. He played for Ajax Amsterdam since 2008 before moved to Liverpool on 28 January 2011 when Ajax accepted an offer of £22.8 million (€26.5 million) from the English club. He replaced Fernando Torres, who moved to Chelsea, as the main striker of Liverpool.
In 2010, Suárez was named Dutch Footballer of the Year, having ended the season as top scorer in the Eredivisie with 35 goals in 33 league matches (49 goals in all competitions).*
