Francesco Totti was born on 27 September 1976 in Rome. An Italian footballer, Totti spent his entire professional career with AS Roma, from his debut as a teenager in 1992 until his retirement in 2017, and was nicknamed Il Capitano for his long spell as captain. A creative forward or attacking midfielder with great vision and a gifted touch, he led Roma to the Italian league title in 2001 and became the club's all-time leading scorer, as well as the second-highest scorer in Serie A history. He won the 2006 World Cup with Italy and the European Golden Shoe in 2007. He rejected offers from bigger clubs and became a symbol of loyalty in the city of Rome.
