The love affair began on May 14th 2018 when Roma posted a seemingly random picture of the Irishman with the caption #GrazieDamien.
Twitter users were baffled at the Tweet and a story merged that the reason behind it was because Delaney helped on of the clubs directors children from a near fatal situation in a London hotel, which the 36 year old defender says there’s no truth to that story.

Instead Delaney think perhaps one of the people running Roma’s poplar english speaking Twitter account may be a Crystal Palace fan and “he appreciated Roma for their efforts.”
It’s still unknown what the real reason is but hopefully Roma will be willing to clear up the mystery.
Hey @ASRomaEN ??
Let’s break the internet and answer the question even Damien doesn’t have an answer too.
