Soccer Superstars: World Cup Heroes - Francesco Totti DVD

Something of a one-club player Francesco Totti has eschewed the lure of the 'Galacticos' and others to turn out for his beloved AS Roma. This documentary takes a look at a player whose devotion to his club is literally unheard of in this day and age. Born in Rome on September 27th 1976 Francesco Totti is a player in a long line of Italian players who have adopted the fabled ""Trequarista"" position just behind the main striker. Italy's player of the year in 200 and again in 2003 Totti helped A.S. Roma to win the Serie A Championship in 2001 their first title... since 1983. In a move that is pretty much unprecedented in the modern game Totti also refused to accept his wages when Roma went through a financial crisis during 2002. Success with the national team has been mixed and he has sometimes courted controversy for his actions on the pitch. However he should be fit for the World Cup and is expected to make a major impact in what will be his second World Cup. With classic Roman good looks and a gorgeous model wife to boot Totti looks like a very happy man indeed! This documentary features interviews with residents from Francesco Totti's hometown and the people who were influential in his life. Not only that but Totti himself offers his own thoughts on his achievements. With a smattering of top quality footage of Totti in action this is ideal viewing for fans of the player and the game.
