A father and son were flying home to Spain after watching Liverpool at Anfield. While boarding the plane, the son tugged at his dad's sleeve. "Dad, I think that's Fernando Torres!" The dad laughed it off. A star like Torres on EasyJet? Not a chance. Then the boy pointed directly at the seat. The dad looked. It was El Niño. He approached Torres for an autograph. Torres did not just sign something, he got up, spoke kindly to the boy, and promised they would take a photo together once they landed, as photos were not allowed on board. Torres was travelling to link up with the Spain national team. A car was waiting for him at the airport. Time was not on his side. When the plane landed, the father and son got caught up searching for a lost bag, the one with their camera inside. After more than 20 minutes, the dad turned to his son and said quietly: "We can't expect someone like Torres to wait this long." They went to the meeting spot anyway, just in case. He was still there. Standing. Waiting. Just as he had promised. Class act.
