PAOLO DI CANIO
Born: 9/7/68
Position: Forward
Club: West Ham
Nationality: Italy
Notes: Much travelled player who has played for Lazio, AC Milan, Juventus, Napoli, Celtic and Sheffield Wednesday before joining his current club West Ham. A very talented player but has trouble keeping his emotions under control. Paolo Di Canio joined West Ham United in January '99 from Sheffield Wednesday for £2m after a push on match official Paul Alcock in September 1998 which almost cost him his Premiership career. Di Canio is a controversial figure but is one of West Ham's and the Premiership's better players at his best.
