    Paolo Di Canio Being Paolo Di Canio

    I especially like the parts where he refers to himself in the third person.

    I thought that was quite amusing as well.

    Good to see him giving his media rights in return for medical treatment for his players.

    A man of principles who wears his heart on his sleeve.I recommend his autobiography which is a fantastic read especially his spat with trappatoni. An underrated player who for a spell in the epl was unplayable.

    A superb player. Now he's starting to show his talents in his management. The progress he has made with Swindon Town is remarkable.

    His heart on his sleeve and a fascist tattoo on his arm.

    The man is despicable and roundly disliked at Swindon by all bar the fans by all accounts.

    Doesn't matter how good a player or a manager, the man doesn't have a moral bucket to pash in.

    Unbelievable. Someone should drag him by the bollocks round somewhere like Auschwitz to corroborate the stories he doesn't believe.

    People who refer to themselves in the third party are hilarious!

    I always liked did canio I had no idea he was involved in any of that right wing stuff but it does remind me of a time when I was at a party full of students and someone mentioned Jim Davidson, up until that point my only experience of him was as a presenter on big break and I said I thought he was quite funny my reply was met with a stunned silence which was followed by accusations that I was a racist right wing sympathiser it was a real show stopper I left soon after

    He was a great player but, given his views, I don't think much of him as a person.



    I wonder if HE ever told someone to 'go back to where they came from' on Twitter?

    I reckon him and his mates in the 'Irriducibili' will have used methods different from Twitter......
