WATCH: Francesco Totti Being The Greatest Fucking Bloke Ever

WATCH: Francesco Totti Being The Greatest Fucking Bloke Ever

Two minutes, two goals, game over.

Let's face it, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are merely pretenders to the throne when it comes to who the greatest player in the world really is. Keep your Ballon d'Ors and goal scoring records and winners' medals, lads, because Francesco Totti will always, no matter how old and knackered he gets, be your fucking superior.

Even knocking 40 while being out of favour at Roma, the Giallorossi captain is still the best fucking bloke currently involved in the beautiful game and proved as much when he decided to saunter onto the Stadio Olimpico pitch in the 85th minute with Roma 2-1 down to Torino and, with two touches in two minutes, casually won the game with all the effort of dunking his biscotti into his morning espresso.

If he really is to depart Roma at the end of the season and take up residence in New York with the Cosmos as is being widely reported this week, can we just award him everything; The Champions League, Europa League, Serie A , European Championships and a few Olympic gold medals for good measure and allow him to magnificently ride off into the sunset like a big, cocky, triumphant bastard. That is all I ask. Cheers.
