Paolo Di Canio in GQ
December 10, 2007

Flicking through December's issue of GQ (as you do) what do I find but a 
seven page feature interview with my all time West Ham favourite Paolo Di 
Canio! It's a pity it isn't online anywhere, as it's a fantastic read. 
Anyway, here are three choice quotes for your delight and delectation.

On the aftermath of the Paul Alcock incident

  One second, Winterburn is barking at me like a dog. The next he is wetting 
his pants. All I did was look at him.

To A C Milan Manager, Fabio Capello

  F*** yourself. Who are you to talk to me like this. He took a step back 
and fell over a kit bag.

On English football

  England is the perfect place to play for a footballer. There is education 
and there is passion. I love English supporters and I love English people. 
What I love about England is that it is 90 minutes of battle.run, fight. 
English football is my favourite football.

On doping

  Doping in English football is restricted to lager and baked beans with 
sausages. After which the players take to the field belching and farting.

On Francesco Totti

  Totti had said that he wouldn;t sit at the same table and have dinner with 
me. I said that was no great loss, because if you tell Totti that there are 
tensions in the Middle East, he'll think that a fight has broken our on the 
right side of midfield.

I was particularly stuck by his answer to a question of whether he would 
like to manage Lazio. Immediately he replied.

  Or West Ham United.

Now that would be a roller coaster!

Paolo by contrast would know more about tensions on the right wing :-)

Nice one!

Paolo might lean right, but I just think he's a crowd pleaser who would 
follow any doctrine the supporters lead with to be accepted.  He's not a 
real racist.  I still respect him as much as any player who put on the 
shirt.


And that's coming from a 30 year old white guy with an Indian girlfriend.
