Francesco Totti was one of many former pros in to play in the annual Soccer Aid charity match at the weekend, and he did so in a gorgeous pair of his own signature Nike Tiempo Legends from 2017.
Totti Wears Gold Tiempos in Soccer Aid Match
Francesco Totti's appearance for World XI in Sunday's Soccer Aid match will have raised a smile on the face of anyone who ever saw him play during his own career. His choice of footwear will have pleased boot fans and aficionados too. Totti retired from the game in 2017 after spending his entire career with Roma, and in his final season, Nike created a special pair of gold Tiempo Legend X boots for him, complete with his name on the heels and a Roman numeral X on the tongue.
Er Purpone wore the boots as played his last ever game for his one and only club on the 28th of May 2017, before bidding an emotional farewell to the tens of thousands of teary-eyed fans at the Stadio Olimpico. And as he once again played in front of a packed out stadium in Sunday's charity match, he gave the much deserved - and much desired - gold boots a run out.
Totti played a perfectly weighted through ball to Usain Bolt for the opening goal, while the game went on to finish 4-2 to the World XI, with a couple of other players from Totti's era, Paul Scholes and Robbie Keane, also getting on the scoresheet.
