GIALLOROSSI YORKSHIRE BLOG
It's Friday, which means it's time for another dream Roma five-a-side team on Giallorossi Yorkshire. Today is the turn of a fellow Leeds-based Roma fan.
Name: Dec Campbell Location: Leeds, England Team: Doni - Not exactly known for their rich history of goalkeepers, at least not in my generation. I’ve gone for Doni, a loyal servant for Roma during his six-year stint, most notably for his influence in-between the sticks during Roma’s back-to-back Coppa Italia triumphs. He just gets the nod over Alisson due to experience in the capital. Juan - The man mountain, for me, an underrated figure in Roman football. His goal against Inter at the Olimpico in our 4-0 demolition of the Milan giants will live long in the memory. Daniele De Rossi - No doubt a popular choice throughout this series. Our new leader, forged from the remains of the Colosseum, there is no hating this man. Watching him dominate opponents in midfield while simultaneously being the clubs playmaker is a joy to watch. Francesco Totti - Again, there aren’t enough superlatives to describe our love for this man. The most underrated player in the history of the game, the man literally chose a less-illustrious career in terms of trophies to play for his beloved Rome. Every through-ball, every chip of the keeper and every flick would make even a Lazio fan smile (probably not). The only man in Italy more popular than the pope. Mirko Vucinic - A controversial choice due to his later commitments to Juventus, but a legend in my eyes nonetheless. Another big player in my early decision to follow the Giallorossi, his pace and power was a joy to watch. The man loved to score screamers, a cult hero in my eyes and a player I will never forget.
