I believe so...and I'm still trying to get 'Dancing in the Moonlight' (the PdC version) out of my head. |

I'd forgotten he lost both his Dad and Mum during the season.

Legend was a bit much wasn't it? Very few Managers have failed to get us out of Div 4.

By guiding Swindon to an immediate return to League One, Paolo di Canio has guaranteed his place alongside Ossie Ardiles, Glenn Hoddle and Lou Macari as one of the club's managerial legends. Yeah.... No. He did a good job and it was fun, mostly. But he doesn't belong in the same bracket as those others mentioned. Even McMahon won us a championship. |

I reckon even Gary Rose would be embarrassed looking back at that piece!
I could have got us promoted from League 2 with that budget.

He has legendary status of sorts. No STFC fan is gonna forget that season and he produced the sorts of stories that get passed down generations.
Great fun while it lasted.

Bordering on excellent. Coming to the County Ground wondering how many we'd win by was awesome. We'd have won League One if he'd stayed.
God knows what would've happened after that.

I remember walking out of the 3-0 LC win over Brighton and thinking that this just may be our year to leave the bottom two divisions and it would have happened be it 1st, 2nd or P-Os had Black kept funding Town for a couple more months.

Hated that whole period. Dream-chasing and damn the consequences. And nasty with it.  |

You probably shouldn't really bother with football if you couldn't enjoy the Di Canio era. You didn't have to like the guy personally to enjoy the on field success he obviously brought.
