Over 120 Premier League stars were born after Francesco Totti made his professional debut.
Roma’s new director of football, Monchi, confirmed today (Wednesday) that the legendary Italian striker will retire at the end of the season.
"In terms of Totti, I already knew that there was an agreement with the club that this would be his final year as a player, then he'd start as a director," he said.
"Francesco is Roma, I want to be as close to him as possible. I'd love to learn even one per cent of the huge amount that he knows."
The 40-year-old World Cup winner has had a long and glittering career which started before 15 players who have featured for Brentford this season.
He made his debut for the Giallorossi on March 28, 1993, just four weeks after Josh McEachran was born, when he came on for three minutes in a two-nil away win over Brescia. Gheorghe Hagi, Claudio Caniggia, Aldair and Sinisa Mihajlovic were among the starters for the two teams that day.
