Francesco Totti, Cavaliere Ufficiale OMRI[1][2] (born September 27, 1976 in Rome), is a World Cup-winning footballer who plays for Italian Serie A club A.S. Roma.
His position is that of a striker or an attacking midfielder, though he is best known for playing as the trequartista (second striker), a compromise between the two positions where the player acts as a link between midfield and attack. He is also Roma's first choice to take free kicks and penalties. Totti, who has spent his entire career at Roma, is the number one goalscorer and the most capped player in club history. He was named by Pelé as one of the top 125 greatest living footballers in March 2004.
Totti was born and raised in Rome's Porta Metronia neighborhood. He idolized ex-Roma captain Giuseppe Giannini, and regularly played football with older boys. His mother refused a lucrative offer from A.C. Milan, as she intended to never let her son set foot out of his home city, and he finally joined the Roma youth squad in 1989.
After three years in the youth team, Totti made his first appearance for Roma's senior side at the age of sixteen, when coach Vujadin Boškov made him play in the 2-0 away victory against Brescia Calcio on March 28, 1993. In the following seasons, he began to play more games, and thus he succeeded in scoring his first goal on September 24, 1994 in a 1-1 draw against Foggia Calcio. By 1995, Totti had become a regular in the starting eleven and scored an amount of 16 goals in the next three seasons. When he assumed the team captaincy in 1997, he began to gain recognition as a club symbol. Manager Zdeněk Zeman played with an offensive 4-3-3 formation, in which Totti was the left winger. Totti scored 30 goals during Zeman's two-year managerial stint.
Though Totti was not called up for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, he was named the Serie A Young Footballer of the Year in the 1998-99 season.
