Tengwar experts on the German Society's forum say that the spelling of "Fernando" in Tengwar is not entirely accurate, according to the rules given by Tolkien. I don't know if Torres is a Tolkien fan or if he's just another of those people who think the letters look cool ("so ask for a translation of your name on a Tolkien forum...").
At any rate, it's a connection between football and Tolkien, which JRRT might have enjoyed - though he preferred rugby, didn't he?
