AS Roma's Starting 11 of the Last 30 Years

James RiggioSep 28, 2010

Now 34, Francesco Totti has been with AS Roma since he was a teenager. Many feel Totti is one of the most talented to ever play the game, even though his accolades may not suggest it. With the ability to play a number of positions, Totti helped Roma win the 2001 Scudetto and has kept the club knocking on the door of northern sides Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus for years.

No player has made an impact on this club more than Totti. He is simply the best player in the history of the club.

Note to fans: Photographs of Falcao and Roberto Pruzzo were not available, which is why they are absent from this team.
