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?

    Totti is no brainer but it’s not fault of Maldini that he was part of a legendary club and Greatest is a subjective term that can mean overall success or just loyalty without any consideration for accolades won. Either way I respect every such individual for their love for the game.
