Nabbout's special Torres moment in Japan

Andrew Nabbout has gone from fan to opponent of Spanish star Fernando Torres and the Aussie attacker made the most of his change in fortunes.

After their Japanese side's Sagan Tosu and Urawa Red Diamonds faced off on Saturday, the Socceroo was quick to secure the shirt of the former Atletico Madrid man.

Great honor to play against a guy who I grew up idolizing. Thank you for the Jersey my friend @fernandotorres

Nabbout's night was made all the sweeter by the fact his Urawa team claimed a late 2-1 win.
