Italian · Rome, Italy · Born 27 September 1976Roma's all-time record scorer and one-club man across a 25-year professional career, Totti's loyalty to AS Roma stands as an almost unrepeatable feat in the era of modern football transfers.
Francesco Totti spent 25 years at Roma, making 786 appearances and contributing 307 goals and 302 assists — the highest combined output by any player for a single club in Serie A history — while remaining loyal through relegation battles when the biggest clubs in Europe wanted to sign him. He made 786 appearances scoring 307 goals and providing 302 assists — the most combined output by any player in a single club's history in Serie A. He scored 64 direct free-kicks in Serie A — a record. He earned 58 Italy caps scoring 9 goals and won the 2006 World Cup in Germany, scoring the winning penalty in the quarter-final against Australia. He was Serie A Player of the Year twice and FIFPro World XI three times. His top speed of 29.8 km/h and 9.7 km per game reflect a player whose genius was positional rather than athletic. He won only 1 Serie A title (2001) but his loyalty made him the most beloved one-club man in Italian football history. He scored 20+ league goals at 35, becoming Serie A's oldest scorer of 20 in a season. He scored his final Roma goal aged 40 years and 95 days — the oldest outfield player to score in Serie A since WWII. He retired in May 2017 at 40.
