Tim Sills, who joined The Shots from Stevenage in January has been speaking to BBC Radio Surrey ahead of the League Two clash with another of his former sides for whom he scored 43 goals in a two-and-a-half-year spell.
He told BBC Surrey: "I've still got a lot of friends there who I talk to, which is rare in football, and I had a great rapport with the fans.
"It will be a nice occasion for me but I'll be fully focused on doing my job."
Sills was part of the Torquay team that was promoted back to the Football League in 2009, with the former Oxford man scoring in the 2-0 play-off final win over Cambridge.
"That's the highest point of my career, scoring at Wembley in such an important game," he added.
A nine-match unbeaten run has seen Torquay climb to eighth in League Two, four points off the play-off places.
"They can mix it up a lot and will be full of spirit," Sills continued. "But every team in this league is beatable."
