Francesco Totti Recalls Fan Volunteering to Stay in Prison in Order to Meet Him

Roma icon Francesco Totti has said a fan once offered to stay in prison longer just so he could meet the Giallorossi legend.

Per Jack Stewart of MailOnline, the former Italy international explained the story of the inmate in his new autobiography.

Totti wrote:

"We went to visit the prison and take a tour of the cells, where everyone was detained. Everyone was very happy because for them to see a player inside was like seeing the Pope."

"There was this lad there that kept shouting, 'Me! Me! Me!' and wanted, at absolutely all costs, to take a photo with me.
