Fernando Torres has told one
Liverpool fan he could never
leave the club for Manchester
City.
Rameez Mahomed, from Johannesburg, was one of 23 children who
escorted the Spanish and Honduras players on to Ellis Park on
Monday.
A fan of English premiership
side Liverpool as well as Spain,
Rameez said he took the opportunity to ask Torres a burning
question - would he leave Liverpool for Manchester
City next season?
"He told me he would never go to Manchester
City because his heart was with Liverpool and also because he gets along well with
Steven Gerrard," Rameez told the
Sunday Times.
Rameez's mother, Sabera, said she was stunned to see her son
walking out with Torres. "He idolises Torres. As a mother, to see
that, it was really an overwhelming moment. My hands were shaking
so badly you can see it on the video I took," she said.
The little boy said he wasn't at all nervous. "I wasn't nervous,
I was just excited to be holding the hand of one of the best
players in the world and not only the best, but my favourite as
well."
