ROME (Reuters) - He has barely played this season and will almost certainly start on the substitutes bench, yet Francesco Totti will still be the centre of attention when his side AS Roma face off with neighbours Lazio for their fourth derby of the season.

Totti is in his 25th season at the only professional club he had ever played for - and, even now, there is a wave of excitement whenever it looks like the 40-year-old is about to come on for a late cameo.
