"Totti at the 2002 World Cup. He mesmerized me with his style of play and first touch. I had just turned 15 and was starting to really get into watching football. After the cup, I did see research on Totti and upon finding out he was the Golden boy of his hometown team, then the fact that Roma is unique in Serie A, always competing with the forces to be from the North as well as their fierce rivalry with Lazio, I became a tifo della Roma overnight! I haven't looked back since!" @ guille_m28
