2) Francesco Totti – AS Roma

AS Roma is one of the biggest clubs in Italian football, so it takes a very special player to become even more prominent than the club itself. Francesco Totti was that special player who managed to grab the limelight.

His status at the club is and probably will be regarded higher than any other player to have donned the famous jersey. Totti holds almost every imaginable record for the club and has blindly turned down any approach from the biggest teams in the world.

He revealed in an interview there was only one club he was going to play for ever since he started to kick a ball because of his family’s allegiance to the club. Totti managed to help the club win one of the three Serie A titles they have managed in their history.

That just goes to show how difficult it has been for the capital club to achieve success, almost always remaining in the shadows of Juventus and AC Milan. It’s the reason why those three titles hold such great value to the fans and why Totti will always be the face of Roma for eternity.
