Paulo di Canio was my hero - the most gifted footballer I have ever seen. I cherish my memories of singing "Paolo di Can-i-o, Paolo di Can-i-o to the tune of Rigoletto on the terraces at West Ham, but tonight he celebrated Lazio's derby win with the Saluto Romano with the stiff-armed fascist salute. Alessandra Mussolini, grand-daughter of the late dictator and herself a far-right politician, praised Di Canio's actions. "How nice that Roman salute was, it delighted me so much," she said, "I shall write him a thank-you note". Pass the sick bag, Alice. He may have been a brilliant footballer, but his sudden rushes of blood to the head do not seem to have dissipated with age. Prat.

If that's the kind of thing they get up to in Europe, we should leave the EU.
Thank you for posting probably the most stupid comment I have ever read. Well done.
Thank you for your congratulations Prince Harry, but I thought you were going to keep a low profile after your latest escapade.
Iain, Upton Park went all-seater in 1995; Paolo di Canio joined West Ham in 1999, so I don't see how you could have watched him from the terraces. Shades of Tony Blair and wor Jackie methinks.
My favourite variation of the Paolo di Canio / Rigoletto theme was the Chelsea version directed at Liverpool fans: 'Where's my car ster-e-o ?'.
I really must learn not to be so loose with my language. Delete terraces insert stand. Season ticket holder 1991-2004. East Stand Upper. Row X Seat 204. Until we got moved to the new Dr Martens Stand. Not quite the same atmosphere there, it has to be said.
Paolo di Can-i-o
He's not a man-i-o
He plays for Laz-i-o
'Cos he's a Naz-i-o
At last someone who is not afraid to let their true feelings show. Nothing to be ashamed about, just a different (and more traditional) European view. Ave.
Kind of sick of the british "Well I never!!!" brigade. Especially from Tunbridge Wells. Lots of people think it but are too timid to say it. We're going to start saying it out loud.
