Kuffour Shows Off Totti's "Newborn"

Francesco Totti's (Roma, Italy) wife is expecting a child and her pregnancy is the talk of Rome. The unborn offspring is popularly dubbed 'Tottinho'. When the forward found the target at the Stadio Olimpico, he had something special lined up. He grabbed the ball from the net, secreted it under his shirt and lay flat on his back. There was momentary confusion, but when Daniele De Rossi reached between Totti's legs, it was clear he was dedicating his goal to his wife in unique style, a routine complete when Samuel Kuffour took the newborn ball and showed it off to the proud Tifosi. Totti explained: "It was an immense joy. I've done my bit, now it's down to my wife."
