    From my recollection, they really didn't log or even count assists back in 2006. That wiki page may have been updated recently and it also might be inaccurate.

    UEFA announced they'll be honoring Totti at this season's year end celebration/award ceremony.

    Totti really is a player like no other ever before. Very proud to call myself a Romanista and Italians should be very proud as well!

    I completely lost it when Totti raised his shirt in sync with the Gladiator theme, the whole Olimpico did. I went from watery eyes to Michael Corleone when his daughter got shot. It wasn't just sadness though, it was affection. Affection for a man that transcends football. I would follow Totti on the pitch, I'd follow him in battle, I'd follow him wherever he goes. And he would do the same to me. As he said he have led us for 25 years. Now it's our turn to lead him. That's pure loyalty. It can't be explained on paper or in words, even Totti's. Only in the tears of 60.000 people on Olimpico.

    It's a moment I will remember every second of for the rest of my life. As I took the heavy steps out of Olimpico I was feeling completely empty. It was awfully quiet outside as well even though we had secured a spot for CL. It got a bit better after sharing this feeling with everyone else at a pub. I decided to walk through Rome to the hotel instead of taking a Taxi. I didn't want it to end.

    Totti was always Rome to me. He made me love the team, the city and the people. Now I have to be Rome alone.

    You did a much better job of trying to put this into words than I did. [emoji122]

    Am I the only one who thinks it would actually be sad if Totti decides to play in Japan? Almost like he just can't quit?

    Totti playing anywhere but Roma would be a tragedy that would tarnish his legacy.

    Unless he is getting a Beckham like MLS contract and/ or a big pay day, I wouldn't do it. I think he should just forget about it and take a back seat role that Roma offered him.

    On the other hand, administrative roles though aren't the easiest things to do for many star players. Very few have made the transformation successfully unless they go into coaching and even then , hardly any keep a job more than 3/4 years. Just because they have a top name doesn't mean anything in the coaching world.

    I am fairly certain Totti does not need the money.

    Maybe not but his last paycheck as a player still ended on June 30th. Even if he gets money from doing spots and endorsements , I doubt he would walk away from free easy money for the title of assistant to the director or whatever you want to call it.
