Did he ask to be substituted in the 10th minute so the whole football world could appreciate his greatness?

None like him, if there was ever the definition of a club legend Totti is it. One hell of a letter too, not sure how there was a dry eye in that stadium.
No because he's not a total c**k.

Ah, perhaps I was thinking of somebody else. My mistake

They discussed this on the Football ramble podcast, a perfect contrast in how to and how not to end your time at a club.

I worry that by staying 2-3 years (or arguably 5) too long that his memory will not be quite as insanely elite as it should be. Gerrard strikes me as a good comparison though he only did it for a year or 18 months which made more sense. Excellent club players and decent at International level but always seemed to put home and 'family' at club level first.
Those who witnessed a lot of him will think even better than was and others will think wasn't 'quite' as good as reality......... I expect. If makes any sense!

This.
And and another example of why Totti and his generation of Italians have world cup winners medals and Terry and co don't. The arrogance and entitlement of English football is somehing else.
