How good is your knowledge of Roma's great goalscorers over the years?
The latest Giallorossi Yorkshire quiz tests how well you can remember the players who have been crucial in front of goal ever since the club was formed in 1927. You have five minutes to name the player to have scored the most goals in each decade in which the club has existed. Only the goals each player scored in a particular decade are taken into account, rather than the total number of goals they scored for the club if their stint at Roma spanned more than one decade. Make sure to share how you've done on Twitter, tagging in @RomaYorkshire, or by leaving a comment below - and if you get full marks, don't forget to show how quickly you managed it. Some high scores are expected... Good luck!
28th March is a special day for all Roma fans, as it marks the anniversary of Francesco Totti's debut for the club.
Over the course of a 25-year career, Totti broke record after record, as he became Roma's all-time leading goalscorer and appearance maker, as well as their longest-serving captain. All journeys start somewhere though, and for the King of Rome, it was in an away trip to Brescia in March 1993, where he would be given a three-minute cameo from the bench. They may not have known it at the time, but the fans present at Stadio Mario Rigamonti that day were witnessing history. In this quiz, you have 10 minutes to name as many members of Roma's squad that day. Here's a generous clue - one of the answers is Francesco Totti. The rest, you'll have to work out yourselves. Make sure to leave a comment with your score and post it on Twitter as well, tagging in @RomaYorkshire. Good luck!

The years and players' positions are given as a hint. Make sure to leave a comment below with your score, and share it via Twitter, tagging in @RomaYorkshire. Good luck!
