His technique was so good. It’s not just his aim, but the way he controls the ball, and the ease at which he switches feet… the goalkeeper was always kept guessing right till the end. Such a technically gifted player.
Best player I’ve seen at Celtic in my lifetime, doesn’t have the legend status of Larsson obviously but what a player, remember watching him warm up when I was a kid, some of the things he would do were just out of this world
This dude had some insane practice pitch goals Italy was stacked at the time but playing outside of the Serie A and having consistent rows with managers specifically Trappatoni had have been the number 1 reason he was never called up for the Italian national squad
He was quality in those times I remember when we play against man united (I think the fa cup) and he was up against Barthez (who didnt play to the whistle ) and scored against us. He always gave me Cantona vibes in his play and mannerism.
It wasn’t so much the competition but his attitude and reputation. He’d pissed off so many of the top guys in Italy like Capello for example, he left Italy because he’d burned so many bridges that’s why he came to Celtic
Crazy if you think about it. Di Canio wasn't a regular player for Italy back then, because they had Roberto Baggio, Alessandro Del Piero, Gianfranco Zola, Giuseppe Signori, and Roberto Mancini for this same position.
Si, non aveva un bel carattere e.gli allenatori della nazionale hanno messo sempre.prima.di tutto l'equilibrio del gruppo. Vedi Balotelli,. è durato pochissimo
Reminds me of Platini at his best but more physical and possibly more prolific. Who else can volley like that with both feet? Very very few players from all time.
Paolo di canio was a player defenders had trouble stopping his ability to swerve left right volley and shoot on sight visionary heart use both feet get out of tight situations.all this and more made him light up the Premier league especially for west ham brilliant player and top fella.
Him and Waddle best players to ever wear a Wednesday shirt. Same mercurial talent as a Maradona, Gascoigne, prime Messi/ Ronaldhino. Two feet, swerve, control, pace, balance, strength, absolute technique on the volley. Also the same coolness as Beardsley in terms of dummying the keeper/ defenders then rolling the ball into an empty net.
My girlfriend went into the celtic shop n asked for a paulo dicanio dvd ,the guy said celtic fans hate paulo dicanio and your boyfriend isnt a real fan,i said when she came back you never asked for that did you,paulo my best player ever for celtic
La copia italiana di cuohtemoc Blanco del Messico......sono due fotocopie,pantaloncini alti ,stile e stesso modo di giocare....fantasia e spettacolo....quello che ci vuole nel calcio di oggi,che non cè piu.....adesso solo tanti soldi per calciatori donnuccie .....giocatore cosi adesso quanto vale?omai tempi in inghilterra ricordo zola,carbone ,di matteo ,vialli ,leggende
How the hell didn’t this player not played for united or Liverpool or even Italy i don’t know maybe he’s character was to much to handle for the coaches
L' istinto del gol piu elevato in assoluto. Giocatore completissimo e tenace come pochissimi. Ancora parlano di Totti....ma il 10 piu forte era il nostro super Paoletto
Vero cavoli, ma doveva avere un bel caratterino e all'epoca aveva anche una bella concorrenza tipo baggio, mancini, zola e altri in genere, ma pure lui era forte forte
