The first player born in each year to play for Roma

Roma were founded in 1927 and players from three separate centuries have pulled on their shirt in the years since.

But who was the first player born in each year to debut for Roma? Here’s a year-by-year guide, with players grouped together if they made their debut in the same game (unless one came on earlier than another, in which case only the first to debut is listed).
