I wanted another Italian at Sheffield Wednesday so that Carbone had a friend. We went to sign Di Canio from Celtic and he didn't turn up, the bastard!': Ex-Sheffield Wednesday manager recalls transfer issue with controversial forward
Briefly

"Carbone came to me courtesy of Roy Hodgson at Inter. He had size six boots, tiny feet, but superb control. On occasions he didn't look interested, and because he was a lonely boy in Sheffield I thought, Maybe if I sign another Italian, he'll have a friend over here. But it worked against us in the end because they were together and it became a slightly fractured dressing room."
"I'd been to watch Di Canio at Celtic. I got a taxi to the hotel and the taxi driver said, 'What are you doing here today?' I said, 'I've only come to watch the game.' He said, 'Don't kid me - you've come to watch Di Canio. We've only got one player.' I got a taxi to the ground and this taxi driver said, 'You've messed up today because the best player isn't playing.'"
