I remember the ADP days. I also remember there were a couple of times when we were close to losing him because our management didn't want to reward him with a contract, the first time was after his stellar season in 97-98 and that injury against Udinese. I was really worried we were going to lose him. There were always rumors, and they resurfaced again after the 2002 World Cup I think, and again after Calciopoli and our relegation to B. I am infinitely grateful he decided to stick with us.
But yeah, players like Totti, Del Piero, Maldini, Raul and Nesta don''t exist anymore.

Davids is awesome. He was the epitome of cool, and he's also why I learned to appreciate hard working players more, as long as they actually possess talent and aren't like Sturaro aka The Accidental Footballer, for example. Davids is also the reason why I am a big Vidal fan.
