STRIKER - Paolo Di Canio: He was a genius. He wasn't easy to manage - every day was a test. He'd have days when he'd have the hump with the world and on other days he'd come in with his sun-glasses on singing. He was an amazing footballer. I'll always remember the game we had against Bradford when he had three penalties turned down. After the last one he walked over, sat in front of me, crossed his legs and said 'boss, I don't play'. I'm going 'Paolo, we're losing 3-1 to Bradford - get up and get out there'. I couldn't tell you what I said to him in the end. He got up, played on and we ended up winning. We got a penalty in the last two minutes. Frank's our penalty taker and got the ball and they were pulling the ball off each other for a minute; in the end Frank thought 'I can't win with this one' and he let Paolo take it and he scored.
