He used to be a street footballer in his childhood and it was not before 8 that he joined the youth system of the club named Fortitude. Subsequently, he played for the youth teams at Smit Trastevere and Lodigani.
In 1989, Totti entered the youth set up at Roma after he impressed the scouts of several clubs. In fact, AC Milan were also interested in him but his mother did not allow him to live in Milan and even though the other Rome based club Lazio were all set to get him, one of the youth coaches at Roma convinced his parents to let him join Roma.
After playing for the youth teams at Roma, Totti was handed his senior team debut on 28, March, 1993 when he was 16 and two years after making his debut, he became a regular in the team. During that period he netted 16 times for the club and became an integral member of the Roma line up.
