About Francesco Totti:
Francesco Totti is one of the most exciting and impressive attacking footballers to emerge in this generation and is widely recognised as Roma's talisman having never left the club to play elsewhere. From an early age Totti was an avid football fan and his natural ability for the game soon emerged drawing attention from major Italian clubs who wanted to secure his signature. Despite interest from AC Milan Totti decided to join his childhood team A.S. Roma.
Totti made his first appearance for Roma at the age of just sixteen and his talent coupled with an eagerness to impress was soon rewarded as he forced himself into a regular place in the first team. His development at the club continued in earnest and he was named Serie A Player of the Year in both 2000 and 2003. Totti's influence in the squad was one of the major factors that contributed to Roma securing their first ever league title at the end of the 2001 season with the young man contributing thirteen goals for his team.
Totti’s strong performances for Roma continued as Totti was moulded into the player and creative genius that we know and love today. Recently, in the 2006-07 season Totti scored an impressive tally of 26 goals securing the trophy for the top goal scorer in the League as well as the European Golden Boot. Totti has solidified his position as one of the most prominent, successful, influential and exciting players in Serie A.
In international football Totti has played as a regular for the Italian national squad since he first made his senior debut in 2000. Totti was a member of the successful Italian squad that lifted the 2006 FIFA World Cup and his influence was prevalent earning him selection to the 23 man Mastercard All Star team of the competition. Totti recently announced his retirement from the national team in July 2007 emphasising that he wishes to concentrate on his domestic football with Roma.
