De Rossi wears 16 in honour of his eldest daughter's birthday. Gervinho wears 27 for his own birthday, he's wore it at Lille, Arsenal and now Roma.
I'd be willing to bet that 6 and 7 being their respective position numbers certainly informed their choices and is much more than a mere coincidence
Lol, nobody chooses 27 because it has 7 in it. The only reason 16 is a more popular number than 41 is because it is lower, not because its 6 and 1
Retiring numbers is so tacky. I'm glad they unretired the one number that was retired. I can tolerate the retired number 12's in the US for football which are dedicate to the 12th man (the fans), but the prolonged idol worship past that point is hard to stomach. Totti has made a lot of money, money that the club didn't hesitate to pay him despite being flimsy financially, and they're going to build a statue of him. Even the statue makes me a little queezy. They're kicking a piece of rubber around on some grass.
De Rossi would be a 5 anyway, but the traditional numbers are dead they predate the position of a full back
