One-club men are hard to come by these days. So when Francesco Totti stepped onto the Stadio Olimpico turf for the last of his 619 Serie A appearances for Roma in May 2017, there was barely a dry eye among the sell-out crowd who'd come to pay homage to their Golden Boy. One of Italian football's all-time greats, only Silvio Piola scored more than Totti's 250 league goals. Supremely talented, charismatic and colourful, he embodied everything great about Italian football. A FIFA World Cup winner in 2006, the Roma legend will be forever adored by football fans around the world, while his stylish performances for Italy also helped to mould him into one of the most recognisable and popular footballers in the world.
