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.

Cheers for the advice mate.

Bloody brilliant times on the pitch, wouldn't change that for the world.

In hindsight though the reckless off the field spending very nearly fucked us big time

Spot on Fred. Brilliant times, we even stayed behind to clap him off the pitch after the game.
Telling the piss stains that their star player was a Town fan. Sublime.
I miss him and his antics. Heart on sleeve guy, a real character, the game needs characters, its become bland.

it was fucking brilliant. the promotion, trip to Wembley (not the match), beating Stoke and Northampton away. even beating Wigan to an extent.  loved nearly every minute

Agree to an extent. Remember being very pissed off on a few occasions, Leon Clarke saga was quite bad, but had absolutely nothing on Preston away when Wes was subbed - that was the worst away game I've experienced.

During the year and a half, the good times massively outweighed the bad times.

yes I'm not saying he was sane, and not a bully in some cases. the treatment of many players was pretty poor. even Alan Connell, who yes was average, got treated like shit.

but those other feelings and memories are some of the best.

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.

This. And im still convinced we would have gone up again the following season if he didnt walk.
