Francesco Totti was born in 1976 in Rome, and is considered the best Italian player of his generation. He is the captain of Serie A club Roma, and leads the team all-time in goals and is the most-capped player in team history. He has been given very colorful nicknames by the Italian media, including Il Bimbo d’Oro (The Golden Boy), Er Pupone (The Baby) and Il Gladiatore (The Gladiator). Totti is currently the top active goal scorer in Serie A, and he’s fifth all-time in league history in goals scored. He’s also won many individual goals, including a stunning record five Italian Footballer of the Year awards and two Serie A Footballer of the Year awards, and Totti was named by Pelé as one of the top 125 greatest living footballers in March 2004.
