Francesco Totti (As Roma) Now 37, Francesco Totti has become synonymous with AS Roma. Almost 700 appearances (684, to be precise) have yielded 283 goals, and he has been captain for an extraordinary 15 years. His list of domestic honours, however, is short: just one Serie A title, in 2001, although he has finished runner- up with his side on six occasions. Other than that, there have only been two Supercoppa Italianas and two Coppa Italias. More than any other player in Europe perhaps, Totti has paid the price for a lifetime of loyalty to one club. Had he achieved a move to one of the very top clubs, Totti would surely have become one of the world’s very best. The closest he came to winning the Ballon d’Or was in 2001, when he finished fifth.
