English magazine FourFourTwo this month claimed that the English media have never appreciated Totti like football fans on the continent.

We asked one fan from all 20 Premier League clubs just what they think of Il Capitano…

Arsenal fan Luke Nicoli: “Arsenal have faced Roma a couple of times in the Champions League and although Totti was always the player to be feared, fortunately he never scored against us. Indeed I remember him getting sent off early in one game following a challenge on Martin Keown, who made the most of the contact it has to be said. Totti won't, therefore, have many fond memories of facing Arsenal but he will always be remembered as one of the greatest strikers of his generation.”

Aston Villa fan Matt Cutler: “You can probably count on one hand the number of attacking players who have been able to perform at the very top level past the age of 36 or 37. Totti scored in the Champions League aged 38…and the fact that aged 39, and despite being ruled out for a number of months with injury, he is on his way back to the Roma team says it all.”

Bournemouth fan Steve Cuss: “I’ve massive respect for the loyalty Totti has shown to his boyhood club. Statue minimum I'd say, when he retires.”
