4. Paolo Di Canio
The maverick Italian winger spent seven years in England playing for West Ham United, Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton Athletic. Beginning his career at Lazio, the controversial Italian was a hero there and subsequently appeared for Milan, Napoli and Celtic before signing for Sheffield Wednesday in 1997.
Di Canio signed for West Ham one season later and fired 12 goals, playing a massive part in the East London club finishing 5th in the league and qualifying for the UEFA Cup. He provided the vital x-factor as the Hammers built on a solid base to become a consistent Upper Mid Table side for a few years.
The strong-headed player was excellent in terms of ability and had the grittiness that the Italians are so renowned for. He was known as a big-game player and it is really surprising that he never managed a single full cap for his country. He represented Italy at the U-21 level and also played once for Italy B.
During his spell in Italy, he played for giants like Milan, Juventus and Napoli and was successful in all his stints there.
Di Canio was praised as a West Ham hero by ex-boss Harry Redknapp and Jermain Defoe who claimed Di Canio's professionalism influenced younger squad members tremendously. His combustible personality might have influenced the decision to leave him out after having been released from an Italy youth squad game after several disagreements.
