Roma are a team that rich in tradition and have a plethora of fantastic players on their roster. They have always played with style and panache, even with Fabio Capello at the helm and he is not known for attractive football.
Goalkeeper
They have had a succession of good goalkeepers but none really that you would classify as being outstanding, the likes of Francesco Antonioli, Gianluca Curci and Doni being good but not particularly outstanding so I have gone for Michael Konsel who is 1 of the best goalkeepers in Austria's history.
Defenders
There have been some very good defenders that have played for Roma like Thomas Berthold, Philippe Mexès, Cristian Chivu, Vincent Candela, Amedeo Carboni, Sebastiano Nela, Christian Panucci, Fabio Petruzzi, Walter Samuel and Zago.
But the 3, I have chosen are Cafu, who was a brilliant attacking full back at Roma, Aldair who just edged out Walter Samuel because he was there longer and Francesco Rocca who was a very good and quick defender.
Midfield
Roma have been very fortunate to have so many great midfielders wear their colours. Players of the calibre of Alberto Aquilani, Toninho Cerezo, Simone Perrotta, Marcos Assunção, Zbigniew Boniek, Massimiliano Cappioli, Olivier Dacourt, Luigi Di Biagio, Agostino Di Bartolomei, Eusebio Di Francesco, Thomas Häßler, Josep Guardiola, Francesco Moriero, Amantino Mancini, Daniele De Rossi, Rodrigo Taddei, Emerson Ferreira da Rosa, Jonas Thern, Cristiano Zanetti and Damiano Tommasi.
I have however, opted for Bruno Conti, an absolutely amazing winger and the best player at the 1982world cup. Carlo Ancelotti who just narrowly edged out Daniele De Rossi (I think will make the greatest ever XI, if he keeps on improving as he is absolutely dynamite), Roberto Falcao the Brazilian genius, the "Prince of Rome", Guiseppe Giannini.
He commanded the midfield like no other player and of lastly just behind the front 2, I have the "king of Roma", Francesco Totti who is one of the best passers of the ball in the history of Italian football. At his best he is just a joy to watch, with his array of passes and exquisite vision.
Strikers
With a great array to choose from, I have picked 2 of the very best and they are Abel Balbo who was excellent for Roma and Roberto Pruzzo. Rudi Voller and Vincenzo Montella just missed out while the likes of Gabriel Batistuta, Claudio Caniggia, Andrea Carnevale, Marco Delvecchio, Daniel Fonseca, Roberto Muzzi, Ruggiero Rizzitelli and others that I have missed out all contributed greatly to the history of Roma.
