Francesco Totti

Francesco Totti (born 27 September 1976 in Rome) is an Italian football player, who currently plays for AS Roma in Serie A and the Italian national team. A creator as well as a scorer of goals - not least from free kicks - Francesco Totti can operate from a variety of attacking positions but it is in the free role behind the strikers that his skill and technique are best showcased.

Club

Totti was just 16 when he made his first appearance for AS Roma in a 2-0 away victory at Brescia on March 28, 1993. He scored four goals in 21 outings in 1994/95 and over the ensuing seasons became a team regular. He was named Italy's Player of the Year in 2000. The following season (2000/1) he helped AS Roma secure their first league title since 1983, having scored 13 Serie A goals. Unhappily, in the 2001/02 campaign Roma finished runners-up to Juventus, but Totti returned with a personal-best of 14 goals during the 2002/3 season.
