Paolo Di Canio (born 9 July 1968) is an Italian football manager and former professional footballer. During his playing career he made over 500 league appearances and scored over one hundred goals as a forward. He primarily played as a deep-lying forward, but he could also play as an attacking midfielder, or as a winger. A talented yet controversial player, Di Canio was known for his creativity, eye for goal, technical ability, and dribbling skills, as well as his temperamental character, tenacity and aggression on the pitch.

He signed for Lazio in 1985 and remained there until 1990. Lazio won promotion to Serie A in 1988, having narrowly escaped relegation to Serie C1 the year before. He finally made his first-team debut in October 1988 and went on to play 30 games during the 1988–89 season. Di Canio scored the winner in the first Rome derby of the season, a goal which contributed to Lazio’s survival in Serie A that season and earning him hero status. In 1990, he was sold to another of Italy’s biggest clubs, Juventus; although he won the UEFA Cup with the Turin side in 1993, he struggled to gain playing time during his tenure with the club, due to the presence of other forwards and creative midfielders in the team, such as Roberto Baggio, Salvatore Schillaci, Pierluigi Casiraghi, Fabrizio Ravanelli, Gianluca Vialli, and Andreas Möller. He left Juventus after an “animated exchange” with then manager Giovanni Trapattoni and spent the 1993–94 season with Napoli. Two seasons followed at A.C. Milan, where, despite winning the Serie A title in 1996, he once again struggled to gain playing time due to heavy competition from his teammates, culminating in another row, this time with Fabio Capello.

He was born within Rome, Italy.

However, he only scored four league goals for the Addicks, all of which came from the penalty spot (one from a rebound). one of the penalty kicks was an audacious ‘Panenka’ style penalty kick against Arsenal. Di Canio however continued to be a provider of goals as well, notably in October 2003 when he came on as second-half substitute with Charlton trailing 0–1 away at Portsmouth. He provided most of the spark for Charlton’s much-improved second- half display, and after Jonathan Fortune had equalised for Charlton, it was from Di Canio’s corner kick in the last minute that Shaun Bartlett headed home the winning goal.
