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?
Well … I mean I don’t think he had the CL clubs knocking on the door consistently let’s put it that way, and outside the ‘successful’ (hate the word big, West Ham got more fans than city) clubs why would anyone move from West Ham anyway.
Because we got relegated.
