Francesco Totti: Fan asked to stay in jail to meet Roma great

But that's exactly what happened when it was announced that Francesco Totti would join his Italy teammates in a tour of a local prison, shortly after winning the 2006 World Cup, according to the Roma great.

'Everyone was very happy because for them to see a player inside was like seeing the Pope,' Totti told Italian television channel RAI as he promotes his autobiography, which is published Thursday.

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

It wasn't until after the players had left the prison that someone told Totti why that particular fan had been so keen to grab a selfie with his hero.

'They let me know that he was supposed to leave a week before, but had asked to stay one week longer because he had heard that I would be going there,' Totti continued.

'And also because he told them: 'If you make me leave, I will do something crazy to be sent back here.''

Totti made 786 appearances in a 15-year-career for Roma, guiding his side to the Serie A title in 2001.

His talent and loyalty to the club's colors -- Totti never played for another team -- has entrenched the forward as an icon of Roma and Italian football.

'Even if I lived for another 100 years, I'll never again have a chance like this to have my photo taken alongside Totti,' the fan wrote in an open letter, according to the Roma star.
