FRANCESCO TOTTI....CICCIO O IL PUPONE Perchè è molto attaccato alla madre (Fiorella)
GENNARO GATTUSO....... RINO OPPURE RINGHIO perchè è un mastino in campo!
ANDREA PIRLO..... IL METRONOMO....perchè detta i ritmi di gioco ai suoi compagni
GIGI BUFFON "MATTO" perchè come tutti i portieri è un poco pazzerello.
ROBERTO BAGGIO.....DIVIN CODINO E CONIGLIO BAGNATO soprannome datogli dal compianto Avv. GIANNI AGNELLI il motivo non lo ricordo.
ALEX DEL PIERO....PINTURICCHIO E GODO'.....anche questo soprannome fu coniato dall'Avv AGNELLI il motivo dovrebbe essere perchè Alex per un periodo non rendeva al massimo delle sue capacità...
