Di Natale 'proud' to have one of Totti's shirts

Di Na

Former Italy and Udinese striker Antonio Di Natale has praised the "extraordinary" Francesco Totti, saying he feels honoured to own one of the forward's shirts.

Di Natale, 38, sits sixth on the all-time list of Serie A goalscorers following a prolific career at Udinese. And he has praised Totti, a man a year his senior, fo his own exploits - which put him second on the same list.

“Francesco is a friend, a great person, an extraordinary player," Di Natale said. "I’m proud to say I have one of his shirts."

Di Natale also wore the No. 10 shirt during his own illustrious goalscoring career, and believes it requires a player of special qualities.

“It’s a very heavy shirt,” he said. “It’s worn by someone who has something extraordinary, off the cuff, and [can do] important things."
