Such is his love of Roma, he even turned down the Manchester City money machine in 2012.“I’m staying for this team, for the affection of the fans, because I am a Roman and because I believe in this project,” the midfielder said at the time.“I feel good here. I haven’t asked anyone to leave. What I promise is that the day I want to leave Roma to win the Champions League or to earn more money, I’ll say so publicly.”City, Premier League champions and managed by Roberto Mancini at the time, had been pursuing De Rossi for months and a 30m transfer had been mentioned as well as wages of around 130,000 a week. But loyal De Rossi never wanted to leave.However, there was one thing that excited him about the thought of playing for City meeting Noel and Liam Gallagher due to his love of Oasis.Theyre the band from my teenage years. I grew up listening to them and I know all their songs off by heart, he once told the Roma website.I liked those guys, they were real characters. They werent always conventional or very easily approachable but I really liked the stereotype they represented rock stars off their heads.This, after all, is a man who has a tattoo of a triangular Hazard warning sign on his right leg warning opponents of his fearlessness in the tackle. In addition to the Gallagher brothers, De Rossi could have met another idol of his, Roy Keane.The former Manchester United captain is the reason he wears no.16 for Roma as well as Gaia, his daughter, who was born on the 16th.Hes the only person in the world Ive asked for a photo, two years ago, he explained. I was too embarrassed with [Diego] Maradona but I couldnt resist with him.He also lists another Man United legend as one of his favourites.Roy Keane was one of Daniele De Rossi’s idols, along with Roberto Baggio and Eric CantonaGetty2

I was a striker growing up and [Eric Cantona] was the epitome of a bad boy genius. He had character, charisma and a touch of aggressiveness. All attributes which despite the fact that he occasionally went a little overboard if managed well are crucial for a footballer.He really entertained me and was another of my great heroes.
