There are plenty of great options: Giggs, Scholes, Baresi, Maldini, Facchetti, Puyol, etc.

For me though, the greatest is Francesco Totti. The others above played for clubs who won multiple trophies, and all won the champions league at least once. Aside from a smattering of Coppa Italias and one Scudetto, Totti didn’t win anything with Rome.

For me, it’s easier for a top player to stay at a top club, rather than be a top player like Totti and stay at a club that was rarely considered the best in Serie A. For my money, he is the greatest one-club man of all time.

Who would you choose?

    Not technically a one-club man because of one season, but Gigi Riva deserves a mention. 164 goals for Cagliari and Italy’s top goalscorer for a few years.

    In general Totti is probably the most iconic.
