Francesco Totti, born in Rome in September 1976, showed an enormous talent for soccer from being a small boy, when he preferred watching football matches to cartoons on television. He joined the junior team for AS Roma at the age of 16 and, since then, has never looked back. Totti scored in Italy's 4-1 defeat by Spain in the final of the 1995 European Under-18 Championship, and he opened the scoring in a 1-1 draw against the Spanish in the final of the Under-21 Competition in 1996. Francesco Totti was named Italy's Player of the Year in 2000 and again in 2003. In 2000/2001 he helped AS Roma win their first league title since 1983, scoring 13 goals for the team. Married to Ilary Blasi, a former model turned television host, Totti runs his own football school called Number Ten, and has his own motorbike team, Totti Top Sport. This is Totti's fascinating story...
