The man, the legend, the emperor etc.
Whenever he's mentioned most of my friends can hardly contain themselves with their adulation. "A true hero and club man", "a dying breed", "a player like no other", you get my point.
Yes, Totti was a very good player, I'm not going to dispute that, but I always get the feeling that he is slighty overrated because of that romantic one club one love etc thing. To me he's not in any best forward ever lists. Honestly not even best forwards of his generation lists. A great player, but not an all time great.
Sacrilege or wot?
PS: to turn the caf bias slightly in my favour, these friends often talk about " players like Totti and Gerrard" in their love of " club hero's"
